Thanks for the help! I hope that you enjoyed the app. I have updated it (but ill put it just here in case) https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-w-walker/

You might want to re-visit this.

Under "Depth First Search" you say:

> Depth first search is the only algorithm listed which will NOT find the shortest path.

That turns out not to be the case. Euclidean will also sometimes not find the shortest path. And indeed, you say so in the section on Euclidean you say:

> *However because our grid is only traversable on horizontal or vertical vertices using this heurtistic will NOT always give the shortest path, ..."

You also mis-spelled "heuristics", but that's easily done, and easily fixed.

The app is nice ... well done.

Thank you very much for the feedback. And for adding the url above.
