A* Algorithm

Summary

A* is a pathfinding algorithm based on Dikjstra. It computes one of the best path to reach two nodes in a graph.

It’s one of the most used pathfinding algorithm in video games.

This implementation takes a ppm image as world and return the result in a ppm image. It allows user to simply create a world and see the generated path.

All the resources (code, makefile, etc) are freely available on github here : https://github.com/Mefteg/a-star.

Technical stuff

I only used C++ with no external library to implement A* algorithm.
