There here mess o' coffeescript is for a blog post on zerowidth.com explaining how JPS works. The code ain't pretty, but I tried to make certain pieces reusable for both static and interactive diagrams.
index.html
contains draft versions of most of the diagrams I ended up using.
I wouldn't suggest dropping this wholesale into your own javascript project, as
the search algorithm implementation was designed with visualization in mind, not
efficiency. Also there's some pretty tight coupling between all the objects
here. However, I hope it can serve as a reference, especially the
JumpPointSuccessors
bit. For another take, this time in questionable clojure
code, see my hansel project. If you need
a real javascript pathfinding library, see
PathFinding.js.
This code is symlinked into my jekyll blog (currently private) for inclusion in the final post.
To run this thing:
npm install
coffee app.coffee
and open http://localhost:3000.
