Inspiration
As a freshman, using google maps was not the best way to find my classes on campus and I struggled with this for a while, until I familiarized myself with the campus better.
What it does
So, this creates a fastest path from point A to point B, given user-defined boundaries (the building borders), which helps new students find classes/school buildings for the first time.
How we built it
I created a BFS algorithm and a visualization feature using a pygame grid system.
Challenges we ran into
Importing the campus maps, as a pygame feature for background modifications is outdated.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating the actual visualization feature.
What we learned
How to utilize bfs in a nondatabase manner.
What's next for Shortest Path Finder
Adding a google maps API, with a dropdown allowing students to select their specific campus with an auto-import feature, so they can find their classes faster.
