Author of the article here. This implementation of A* was me playing around. It is definitely not optimized for either Ruby or Crystal It was merely a chunk of Ruby code that I had lying around. You are right about the unsorted queue being

Neat. Thanks for posting that. Hopefully, that process could be cleaned up and streamlined as a lot of it would be repetitive boiler plate.

I think it's important to keep in mind that the OP is a consultant not a developer at a product company. I'm sure they end up working with external development teams that can't simply be dismissed (or fired), but must be work

Nice! I really like the art style; but isn't >2D Simplex noise patented?

I like your idea here. I think the downside of this approach is you must scale your random data points by a scaling factor to get them in a known range.

The downside of Simplex noise is that anything greater than 2D is patented: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex_noise There is another project called OpenSimplex that has similar results.

Unintentional, that's what happens when you write a toy not intending to publish it. Article has been updated with credit.

2.1 changes how the method cache works. It is now hierarchical as opposed to the old global cache.

Good points. Makers need to make and use their creativity ( http://spin.atomicobject.com/2012/04/08/do-what-you-love/ ). We cannot just be butts in seats. The 501 guys seem to want to just be a cog in a machine, but that is not enough for
