This seems to be only usable in specific situations - can only be used in a 2d euclidean map. A* is usable in so many other ways I would want a module within pygame to be more general and able to be configured to work in many very different situations. On the other hand, it sounds like it is well optimized, and having an a* module is better than not having one. Perhaps a general version could use this for situations where it makes sense, and fall back to something else for other situations?
A* is not hard to write for each game, but it can be annoying, and in pure python can be pretty slow, so an optimized version available for all games that need it would be great! > On Sat, Mar 28, 2009 at 12:07 AM, Yanom Mobis <ya...@rocketmail.com> wrote: >> building it in to pygame wouldn't be a good idea- it would take up space >> even if you didn't use it.

AI is a little bit new for pygame, being outside of the scope of input/output, but there has been talk about a possible ai module for a long tme. A* should be the first thing there, since it is the most solved ai problem, and one of the most commonly needed modules.
