Info on the A* algorithm

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.ai.games (More info?)

Hi,

I have read multiple posts that mention the A* algorithm for path
planning and obstacle avoidance, but have been unable to find anything
on google about it. Can someone please provide any links to this elusive
algorithm?

Thanks,
--Ala

Google can't search for "A*". Search for "AStar Pathfinding" instead
and you'll get a ton of hits.

(I can't recommend any page myself since I've adopted my own A*
implementation from the book "AI Game Programming Wisdom".)

If you search for "A* Algoritm" on google one the first answers is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-star_search_algorithm
Which has a good description and several links including the excellent
one above.
