Pathfinding Tutorial: A-star Search Algorithm

Learn how to explore a triangle grid and find a goal point with the A-star search algorithm in this pathfinding tutorial. You will use Processing and Java to code the A-star pathfinding algorithm and create a graphical demo so you can see it in action.

The A-star pathfinding algorithm finds the shortest path from a start node to a goal node in a node graph (assuming the path exists). It does this using two heuristics.

The first heuristic measures the distance from the current node to the start node. The second heuristic measures the distance from the current node to the goal node. The combined scores of these two heuristics can be used to steer the A-star algorithm towards optimal nodes.

A deceptively simple pattern. First post in three months because I have to be a functioning adult now (I just graduated college!).

Generating a Triangular Grid in Processing

Learn how to generate a triangular grid, create walls, connect the triangular cells and render the cells in this Processing tutorial, using the Java programming language.

In geometry, a triangular grid is formed by tiling a plane with equilateral triangles, where each cell has exactly 3 neighbours. The triangles used to form the grid must be equilateral, meaning all sides are equal in length and all angles are 60 degrees.

Because the internal angle of the equilateral triangle is 60 degrees, 6 triangles at a point occupy a full 360 degrees. The triangular tiling has Schläfli symbol of {3,6}.

A triangular grid, is also known as triangular tessellation. It is also one of the three regular tilings of the Euclidean plane. It is the only such tiling where the constituent shapes are not parallelogons.

Custom Grid- Triangle

For this pattern, I combined at least four copies of my motif so that they formed a triangle-shaped motif. I then rotated the triangle so that the longest side was vertical, and began stacking each triangle on top of one another in each column. There is strong contrast with this pattern, and the negative and positive shapes balance each other out. This allows for the pattern formed by the mark-making inside the positive space to work and stand out, unlike in my basic grid where it just made everything too busy. There is also a slight overlapping effect in which the diamond shapes appear below the trapezoidal shapes(both positive shapes) due to their slight difference in value. Nonetheless, the pattern overall has a good figure/ground relationship. In addition, the shapes blend nicely together to create continuity. This pattern doesn’t have much movement, but the shapes keep it interesting. The diamond shapes form an implied zig-zag line horizontally across the pattern, as well the trapezoidal shapes when they touch points.
