It's not an RRT[1] if it doesn't employ a Voronoi bias to sample within the largest Voronoi cell. Since the first paragraph describing the "RRT" implementation admits it didn't explore properly, it really wasn't an RRT. This is a pity, because a proper RRT (or better still, a PRM[2] with the monster walking every edge) would really have been a great way to handle this!
[1] Rapidly-Exploring Random Tree. Without the Voronoi bias it's not rapidly-exploring, so it's just a random tree (RT) instead.
[2] Probabilistic RoadMap. Similar to an RRT except that samples are connected to all close samples within some neighbourhood function.
- tlarkworthy 12y agonarrow corridors and so called "bug traps" are known pathological cases for standard RRTs. The RRT approach was never gonna work, implemented correctly or otherwise. See my other comment for a proper way of doing it with guarantees on coverage.
