Pathfinding with UCS and A* algorithm

Project Description

This project explores the use of two popular pathfinding algorithms: Uniform Cost Search (UCS) and A* (A-star). Both algorithms are used to find the shortest path between two points in a graph, but they use different strategies to achieve this goal.

UCS is a simple algorithm that expands nodes in order of their path cost from the start node. It guarantees to find the shortest path between the start and goal nodes, but it can be slow for large graphs.

A* is a more advanced algorithm that uses a heuristic function to guide its search. This allows it to find the shortest path more quickly than UCS, but it requires a good heuristic function to work effectively.

How to run locally

To run this project locally you will need to install:

  • pip
  • node

Clone this repository. Move to the root of this project then,

npm ci          # for clean install

then

pip install flask
pip install flask_cors
pip install numpy

After that on the root of this repository, run:

quasar dev      # this will open browser at port 9000

Then cd to src-backend and run:

flask run       # this will start backend server (port 5000)

Change the axios post request inside src/pages/IndexPage.vue to http://localhost:5000/solve if you want to test the backend manually.

Additional Information

There are 4 test case inside test folder that you can use (upload it to the web).
