Welcome to Algorithm Visualizer
This small tutorial will help you to familiarize yourself with necessary features
If you don't need a tutorial, then just hit the Skip button and enjoy the Visualizer!
Setting start and target nodes
An algorithm will work only if there is a start and an end
To set the start node, double-click on any cell. To set a target node, left click on any cell.
Setting and clearing walls
You can manually set obstacles for an algorithm
To set a wall - left click and drag your mouse across the board. If you want to clear a wall, right click and drag.
Choosing an algorithm
You can choose different search algorithm from the menu
This project features: Depth first, breadth first, A* star and Dijkstra's algorithm. Every algorithm has a small description at the top of the page.
Choosing a maze
If don't want to set obstacles yourself, you can choose one of the maze patterns
Choose a maze pattern and see the algorithm in action! There is also a non-traversable maze, which made for demonstrational purposes only of how you can generate a maze using recursive division method.
Project Legend
If you're feeling lost, you can reference the legend bar which features all the necessary things.
Legend bar is always at the top of the page. It also provides a short description of an algorithm you've chosen.
