## What is PathFinder Visualizer?

Ever use a map app? Well, map apps use a type of pathfinding algorithm in order to route you from your origin to your destination. PathFinder is simply a tool that visualizes how these types of pathfinding algorithms work. With PathFinder, you can visualize how the Breadth First Search, Depth First Search, and A* pathfinding algorithms operate upon your own custom drawn graphs. Intended for use by computer science students.

## Key features

- Visualize pathfinding algorithms
- Breadth First Search visualization
- Depth First Search visualization
- A* algorithm visualization
- Custom graph drawing

### 5/5 — Great game

*2021-04-15, version 1.2.1*

When I found this app, I was at a low point in my life. I had 20 dollars in my bank account and my wife left me for our pool guy, Demarcus. I drowned myself in alcohol everyday to escape the pain, until I found this app. I instantly got addicted to the vast amount of colors flashing on the screen at one time, it touched me. I played it for 14 hours a day on my IPhone 4, reality just went away for me, as I got lost into the world of this app. Unfortunately, avoiding reality meant avoiding the large debt I’ve accumulated over the last few weeks. Eventually, the irs knocked on my door and promptly arrested me for tax evasion, which means I won’t be playing this app anymore. I want to thank Artemis for giving me the joy I needed to keep living as I have never felt more alive in my life, watching colored boxes travel across my screen.

Update 4/22 
I have escaped from prison, and I don’t know how much time I have until they found and I can’t disclose my location. However, I have rented a phone that will allow me to play more Path Finder Visualizer. Once again, I’m lost in the virtual world of colored boxes, in light of the situation, this app is way better than getting raped in prison by muscular men. I have taken to playing this game even more,  this game has helped me get through the stress of the thought of being found by police. I would like to sincerely thank Artemis for giving me this source of joy in my life, will update as time goes on.

Update 4/14/21
I snuck into the White House under the alias Kamala Harris. I have found a way into a position of power and have been using my vast influence to force minorities to play pathfinder 16 hours. I don’t get more joy than watching illegal immigrants and their children watch boxes illuminate on their screen. Pathfinder has been a way I have connected with Buddha and I have been able to remove all distractions from my life. Boobies. The power I possess watching people play the game is so exhilarating and I will live the rest of my life with this goal in mind. I once again want to thank Artemis for opening this spiritual path in my life and I would love to get a chance to meet him some day. I want you Artemis, I need you.

### 5/5 — The light of my life

*2020-09-17*

I wake up to this, sleep to this. My brain is now thinking in paths.... help my uncle is making me

### 5/5 — Very cute and hot

*2020-08-16*

What thy app do?

### 5/5 — Is Artemis Radik the next Albert Einstein??

*2020-06-17*

Wow. Wow is all I can say. I’ve never been so impressed with an app in my entire life. I have absolutely zero idea what it does but it’s beyond incredible and looks very smart. Artemis has discovered the mysteries of the universe and unlocked the meaning of life. He is possibly the greatest mind of our generation. Congratulations on such an enormous feat

### 5/5 — Best app for understanding algorithms

*2020-05-30, version 1.2*

#1 app for students to learn and understanding algorithms

### 5/5 — This app is really awesome!

*2020-05-29*

This app is really awesome! Very interesting approach!

**Developer response:** Thanks! I’m glad you liked it.

### 5/5 — Radik’s apps are exceptional

*2020-04-22*

As expected from technical genius Artemis Radik, this app delivers an insightful experience. I have never seen an app that so artfully finds paths from point A to point B. It is a never before seen piece of technology that world powers will surely fight over in world war 3. I hope Artemis continues to develop this technology and find effective ways to monetize it. I know I personally would really appreciate a larger grid and am sure military organizations will be willing to pay large sums of money for grids size 1,00,000,000 by 1,000,000,000 as to more effectively simulate the earth. A 3 dimensional pathfinder would also be quite impressive and I’m looking forward to seeing the more impressive iterations that Artemis can develop. Overall this prototype is everything I expected from a technical genius like Artemis Radik and all should be able to play and enjoy this app to its full potential. As someone who personally enjoys puzzle games myself this was an effective way to create a puzzle and enjoy watching the AI try to solve it. However I would hope the AI would be smart enough to find endpoints encased on walls but I assume that because they cannot do that there is a reason they are not currently out overlords. When Artemis develops an AI that can effectively find endpoints encased in walls, that is the day the robots will take over. 

10/10 would recommend to everyone

### 5/5 — Great Design - interesting to watch

*2020-04-14, version 1.1.1*

Lovely app, it’s been about 8 years since I studied algorithms it would be cool to explain what’s going on so it can be utilised as a revision tool maybe.

### 5/5 — Student project?

*2020-04-14*

Impressive work for a student project!

**Developer response:** Yes, this was a student project. I’m glad to hear you’re impressed, It means a lot!

### 5/5 — Great Visualization

*2020-04-14*

Great tool to show how algorithms work!!

**Developer response:** Glad to hear that, I hope it will help students learn how pathfinding algorithms work. I appreciate the feedback!
