Path Finding Visualizer Application for Shortest Path Algorithm

Visualization is an efficient way of learning any concept faster than conventional methods. Modern technology allows creating e-Learning tools that also helps in improving computer science education very much. The goal of this project is to create a web based e-Learning tool, ‘PathFinding Visualizer’, which can be used to visualize shortest path algorithms. The conceptual application of the project is illustrated by implementation of algorithms like Dijkstra’s , A* and DFS. This project aims to complete all these tasks with some knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React Framework. The end product is a web application so that any user can easily see and learn the working of the algorithms. User-friendliness of the project provides user with easy instructions on how to operate it. The initial results of using the application show promises of the benefits of this e-Learning tool towards students getting a good understanding of shortest paths algorithms.
