Representation of scenarios using regular grids.

Using the PathFinder program, construct alternative representations for the scenario

The Pathfinder program allows you to automatically build scenarios from a map and use this information to determine the best path between two points. There are three elements on the map:

  • Road: passable at cost 1
  • Grass: passable with cost 2
  • Water: obstacle

The map is covered by a grid of hexagons and the paths are calculated between two hexagons.

  1. Test the operation of the program.
  2. Modify the map (can use Paint/Gimp) to include new obstacles.
  3. Use different grids: squares and circles. In these cases, remember to conveniently redefine the functions neighbour, hex_to_pix, and pix_to_hex .
