Interactive graph-search explanations for choosing BFS, Dijkstra or A*.
guide
Original synthetic pathfinding example. Movement is orthogonal, and the starting cell is not charged. This is not output from an executed game.

Use it for: Routes around walls or movement budgets with different terrain costs.
Start: 1) Build a small graph with a dead end. 2) Use BFS for equal costs. 3) Add terrain costs and compare Dijkstra with A* using a non-overestimating heuristic.
Original overview, not an implementation or guarantee. Graph-search details, heuristic conditions and unreachable goals must be handled correctly.

Try checking: Compare total path cost, not just tile count, and handle an unreachable destination.
Limits: The output is a graph path. Character motion and changing obstacles still need game-specific handling.
