As I am currently trying to implement the A* pathfinding algorithm in C++ this is both timely & very cool. Most interesting is the selectable distance heuristic function (never thought about doing that in my own limited experience) which could mix things up a bit with a pathfinding game AI or similar. Kudos for sharing this little gem :) [edit] implementing A* on my own for educational purposes, but here's a good reference implementation in C++ on google code: http://code.google.com/p/a-star-algorithm-implementation/ http://code.google.com/p/a-star-algorithm-implementation/
