A-Star

A-Star algorithm implemented with Go.

Usage

see the example/main.go for complete usage.

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/shanghuiyang/astar"
    "github.com/shanghuiyang/astar/tilemap"
)

// a map with 10 rows and 20 cols
const strmap = `

func main() {
    // build a map from string
    m := tilemap.BuildFromStr(strmap)

    // define the origin and destination
