v1.2.0

1.2.0 (2024-07-11)

This marks the first release I consider to include most features I originally wanted this project to have.
There are still some bugs but for those I know of most are related to how the maze algorithms handle the start and goal node.

Features

• add aria labels for screen reader (47d62e2)
• algorithm: add first working a-star version (f5a8810)

• add wip message to the learn page (95cee26)
• algorithm import now works for pathfinding (b121bd1)
• better warning ux when switching algorithms (previously caused layout shifting) (e0618a1)
• algorithm: enable diagonal and corner movement for pathfinding algorithms (c9fa0fa)

• remove unused warning modal component (2f5a6cc)
• show available app hotkeys in legend modal (745854a)
• show warning/reminder when selecting octile and chebyshev distance but not diagonal movement (53129c4)
• switching the algorithm mode now properly uses a custom view transition (b2ab5d1)

• form label sizes (ed46e71)
• algorithm: get rid of serialize/deserialize errors (f6b596a)
• grid text display (d4f6dd5)
• grid-settings component now don't lose their state before the transition starts (b2df94f)
• algorithm: growing tree now handles start and goal nodes correctly (d5feeba)
