Questions tagged [pathfinding]
Pathfinding or pathing is the plotting of the shortest route between two points. It is a more practical variant on solving mazes. This field of research is based heavily on Dijkstra's algorithm for finding the shortest path on a weighted graph.

Maze Solver in Python inspired by Micro-Mouse Competition Logic
Why I made it
I watched this video by veritasium about Micro-Mouse maze-solving competitions, and found the logic to get to the center fascinating. Hence, despite not having a maze or a mouse, I spent ...

Dijkstra's algorithm for non-uniform undirected hypergraphs: Take II - bidirectional Dijkstra's algorithm with excellent performance
Intro
(See the full repository here.)
A non-uniform undirected hypergraph is a generalization of an undirected graph. It is defined as \$H = (X, E)\$, where \$X\$ is the set of vertices and \$E \...

Computing \$k\$ most reliable paths in undirected probabilistic graphs in Java
Intro
(See MostProbablePath.java.)
This time, I elaborate on Computing most probable (reliable) path in a probabilistic graph (take II): instead of computing the most reliable path I now return \$k\$ ...

Computing most probable (reliable) path in a probabilistic graph (take II)
Intro
A probabilistic graph \$G = (V, E)\$ is an undirected graph with weight function \$w \colon E \rightarrow [0, 1]\$. In the most reliable path problem we -- given two terminal nodes \$s \in V\$ ...
