Route

Route is a Swift Playground app built for the Swift Student Challenge 2024. Its purpose is to teach users how these three pathfinding algorithms operate:

• A*
• Dijkstra's
• Greedy Best-First Search

Features

• Interactive grid: Create different maps by placing obstacles and moving the start and target blocks to different locations.
• Maze generation: Challenge the pathfinding algorithms with auto generated mazes.
• Algorithm selection: Choose from three distinct pathfinding algorithms. Each selection comes with a concise description, outlining the algorithm's approach, strengths, and weaknesses.
• Real-time solving animation: Watch an animated visualization of the algorithm as it attempts to find a path.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have the latest version of Xcode.
• Run the app using an iPad simulator in landscape mode.

Installation

1. Clone the project.
2. Open Route.swiftpm in Xcode.
3. Choose a simulator (either iPad Pro 11-inch or iPad Pro 13-inch).
4. Press Run to build and run the app.
