Different formulas give different results. This is the equation used to calculate the heuristic. A heuristic function creates this estimate of how long it will take to reach the goal state because the better the estimate, the better a short path will be found. This is a constant that will affect the estimated distance from the current position to the goal destination. The con is that it will take more time because it searches for extra nodes. The end result is that, if the path is found, it will be a smoother path without too many changes in directions and look more natural. If this check box is set, every time the algorithm changes direction it will have a bigger cost. That will make the algorithm avoid using diagonals. If this check box is set, the cost of the diagonals will be bigger. If this checkbox is not set, the algorithm will process just four directions instead of eight. This hint will tell the algorithm whether it is allowed to process diagonals as a valid path. Reducing the speed changes the look of how the algorithm opens and closes the nodes in real time. I made this call on a separate thread this gives the chance to keep control of the application when PathFinder is working. This method takes as parameters a start, end point, and the grid it will return the path as a list of nodes with the coordinates. Public List FindPath(Point start, Point end, The call in the source code that does the entire job is the following: You also can change the heuristic, formula, or options to analyze the best setting for your project. The front end gives a full chance to experiment with many variables where you can really watch and learn how it works.
