An explanation of what Breadth-First Search is for beginners. We will gently introduce the differences from DFS, how queues ...

Let's first define what exactly the problem is. Take this graph, for instance. For the purposes of this post, the blue circles represent "nodes" or "vertices" and the black lines are "edges" or "node ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

In algorithms, as in life, negativity can be a drag. Consider the problem of finding the shortest path between two points on a graph — a network of nodes connected by links, or edges. Often, these ...

This post will cover the basics of Dijksta's shortest path algorithm and how it can apply to path finding for game development. It is my opinion that understanding this algorithm will aid in ...
