/**
A* (A star) is a computer algorithm that is widely used in pathfinding and graph traversal, the process of plotting short paths among vertices (points), passing through a given set of edges (segments). It enjoys widespread use due to its performance and accuracy. Godot's A* implementation uses points in three-dimensional space and Euclidean distances by default.

You must add points manually with `godot.AStar.addPoint` and create segments manually with `godot.AStar.connectPoints`. Then you can test if there is a path between two points with the `godot.AStar.arePointsConnected` function, get a path containing indices by `godot.AStar.getIdPath`, or one containing actual coordinates with `godot.AStar.getPointPath`.

It is also possible to use non-Euclidean distances. To do so, create a class that extends `AStar` and override methods `godot.AStar._ComputeCost` and `godot.AStar._EstimateCost`. Both take two indices and return a length, as is shown in the following example.

```

class MyAStar:
extends AStar

func _compute_cost(u, v):
return abs(u - v)

func _estimate_cost(u, v):
return min(0, abs(u - v) - 1)

```

`godot.AStar._EstimateCost` should return a lower bound of the distance, i.e. `_estimate_cost(u, v) <= _compute_cost(u, v)`. This serves as a hint to the algorithm because the custom `_compute_cost` might be computation-heavy. If this is not the case, make `godot.AStar._EstimateCost` return the same value as `godot.AStar._ComputeCost` to provide the algorithm with the most accurate information.

If the default `godot.AStar._EstimateCost` and `godot.AStar._ComputeCost` methods are used, or if the supplied `godot.AStar._EstimateCost` method returns a lower bound of the cost, then the paths returned by A* will be the lowest-cost paths. Here, the cost of a path equals the sum of the `godot.AStar._ComputeCost` results of all segments in the path multiplied by the `weight_scale`s of the endpoints of the respective segments. If the default methods are used and the `weight_scale`s of all points are set to `1.0`, then this equals the sum of Euclidean distances of all segments in the path.
