[Resource] Interactive A*/pathfinding visualizer for Unity developers learning NPC navigation

[D2758695161]

Hi! Working on Unity pathfinding and found a tool that might be useful for the community here.

Wander Lobster Platform - https://d2758695161.github.io/wander-lobster-platform/

A browser-based pathfinding visualizer with:

• 5 algorithms: A*, Dijkstra, BFS, DFS, Greedy
• Real-time visualization (0.25x ~ 4x speed)
• Head-to-head battle mode
• Custom map drawing

For Unity developers, this is great for:

• Understanding how NavMesh-based pathfinding works under the hood
• Teaching team members about pathfinding fundamentals
• Quickly testing heuristic behavior before implementing in Unity
• Comparing different algorithms visually before committing to one

The battle mode (two algorithms racing on the same map) is particularly nice for presentations or team education.

Pure frontend, no dependencies:
