Timeline
I have continued working on the grid. it now updates automatically when the scale is changed or the window is resized.
Decided I didn't like the graph for visualising pathfinders, I've started making a 2D grid to visualise it as well. This is going to take a while haha
Visualiser now looks a bit better! It shows the nodes that are being searched and have been used in the search.
When clicking the play button, the javascript sends a POST request to the python API. I also added some more functionality to the UI components and fixed a few bugs
The graph now shows the start and target nodes, highlighted in red and green! I also added some more options and got a couple of them working.
I've now got the graph working for the pathfinding page. The python backend generates a new graph every time the page loads. I will add a button to regenerate it too. It's time for bed now!
I spent some time working on tidying up the css files, as well as getting started on the Pathfinding page.
I made the homepage look nice. For my first website I am quite impressed at what I have made (I hope everyone else likes it lmao). Also setup cytoscape.js, which is what I will be using to render graphs and trees.
Got the demo website up and running. backend runs on Render, frontend on Vercel. They use an API to communicate. This took a lot of brainpower XD
This is going to be an interesting project. I have decided to do this so that I can learn new stuff about algorithms, as well as learn how to make backend and frontend interact. I have decided to use React for the frontend (never used before, wish me luck) and Flask for the backend. Wow that's a lot of files!
