Want to see various pathfinding algorithms in action? With Path Finding Visualization, you can visualize, in action, six different algorithms. This app allows you to select your own starting and ending points, select the algorithm you want to use, and add walls in order to create boundaries. This app includes the following algorithms: Dijkstra's - Works by expanding outwards until it reaches the target node. Guaranteed to find the shortest path as long as there are not any negative weights. Bidirectional Dijkstra's - Dijkstra's algorithm from both sides. A* - Like Dijkstra's in that it favors nodes close to the starting point, but also favors nodes close to the ending point (heuristic). It does not guarantee the shortest path. A tie-breaker that prefers straight lines was included in order to prevent multiple nodes from having the same F values. Bidirectional A* - The A* algorithm from both sides. Breadth-First Search - Traverses through a graph one level at a time until it finds the target node. Since there are no weights, this algorithm does guarantee the shortest path. Depth-First Search - Traverses through a graph by going as deep as possible and then backtracking until it finds the target node. It does not guarantee the shortest path. Learning about or want to visualize any of the above algorithms in action? Download Path Finding Visualization today and have a better understanding of how each algorithm works.

Learn Lua — the beginner-friendly language behind Roblox scripting (Luau), game mods and countless tools. Write and run real Lua code on your phone, with bite-sized lessons, quizzes and an AI mentor that explains every error in plain English. Heads up: this is a Lua LANGUAGE course, not a Roblox game builder — you'll learn the real coding skills that game scripting is built on. WHY LEARN LUA? • Roblox scripts are written in Luau, a language built on Lua — learning Lua is step one to scripting your own games • Lua also powers World of Warcraft addons, Garry's Mod, Neovim plugins and embedded software • Lua is one of the easiest first programming languages: small, clean and forgiving • The concepts you learn here (variables, loops, functions, tables) transfer to every other language you'll ever touch WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • Lua basics — variables, types, math and strings • Control flow — if/else, loops and logic • Functions and scope • Tables — Lua's superpower — plus metatables • Object-oriented programming in Lua • Error handling and practical scripts you can actually use • Practice projects — mini scripts that feel like game logic EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO LEARN LUA • AI Mentor — confused by a lesson or an error message? Ask anything and get a clear answer in seconds • 100+ bite-sized lessons (5–10 minutes each) • Real code editor — write and run Lua code right on your phone • Quizzes and coding challenges after every topic • Weekly Code Challenge — compete with learners around the world • Certificate of completion — pass the final exam and show off your skills • Streaks and progress tracking to keep you coding every day • App available in 22 languages WHO IT'S FOR • Roblox players who want to go from playing games to scripting them • Complete beginners (young or grown) picking their first language • Modders and tinkerers who keep bumping into Lua SETTING EXPECTATIONS (the honest part) This app teaches the Lua programming language with lessons, practice and a code editor. It does not include Roblox Studio, game assets or a game engine — to publish a Roblox game you'll use Roblox Studio on a computer, and the Lua skills you build here are exactly what you'll need when you get there. Not affiliated with Roblox Corporation. Part of CoddyKit — a family of 40+ coding apps trusted by 100,000+ learners worldwide. Free to start: your first course is free, with a daily AI Mentor allowance. Pro unlocks every course, removes ads and gives you unlimited AI Mentor. Download now and write your first script today.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Path Finding Visualization at 5.0 against Learn Lua's 4.2. Path Finding Visualization also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). Learn Lua's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 35 months) and ratings volume (16 vs 1). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Learn Lua sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days. Path Finding Visualization asks for nothing beyond the download.
Path Finding Visualization holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Learn Lua has 16 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Path Finding Visualization ships an update every 35 months, Learn Lua every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
