Comment on Improving Heuristics for A* Pathfinding

Comments

One of my fav LLM tests is asking it to implement A* algorithm, in X language, in a single file, output 80x40 char map with random obstacles and show the path. Ask it to build UI or change path heuristiscs, etc.

It's such a quick prompt but can quickly signal how useful the model is in that language or framework, how much you have to constraint output with specs and tests.
