Project Overview
This interactive visualization tool demonstrates how different search algorithms explore and find optimal paths in a grid-based environment. Users can create custom mazes, place start and end points, and watch as algorithms navigate through obstacles to find the shortest path.
The project features real-time visualization with adjustable speed controls, allowing users to understand the behavior and efficiency of each algorithm. Color-coded cells show the exploration process, making it easy to compare different approaches.
