    <p>With so many implementations available, what is the fastest executing (least CPU intensive, smallest binary), cross-platform (Linux, Mac, Windows, iPhone) A* implementation for C++ using a small grid?</p> <p><strong>Implementations</strong></p> <p>Google returns:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.heyes-jones.com/astar.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.heyes-jones.com/astar.html</a> (Most links on that site are dead.)</li> <li><a href="http://www.grinninglizard.com/MicroPather" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.grinninglizard.com/MicroPather</a> (Said to be slower than Heyes-Jones'.)</li> <li><a href="http://www.ceng.metu.edu.tr/~cuneyt/codes.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.ceng.metu.edu.tr/~cuneyt/codes.html</a> (Generic C++ code.)</li> <li><a href="http://swampthingtom.blogspot.com/2007/07/pathfinding-sample-using.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://swampthingtom.blogspot.com/2007/07/pathfinding-sample-using.html</a></li> <li><a href="http://opensteer.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://opensteer.sourceforge.net/</a> (Interesting for games, not A*.)</li> <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/938338/what-is-the-fastest-dijkstra-implementation-you-know-in-c">Stack Overflow on Dijkstra's Algorithm</a></li> </ul> <p>Any others?</p> <p><strong>The Wheel</strong></p> <p>The question, as asked, pertains to reuse (plug into a game), not reinvention (at least not until performance is shown to be an issue). It might turn out that a Dijkstra implementation (or generic pathfinding algorithm) is better suited, or that the fastest implementations are not fast enough. I appreciate the suggestions of alternative algorithms, however the question is not, "Should I roll my own A*?"</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000007.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Joel on Software - Not Invented Here Syndrome</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001145.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Coding Horror: Don't Reinvent the Wheel</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.developer.com/open/article.php/3338791/Overcoming-Not-Invented-Here-Syndrome.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Overcoming the "Not Invented Here Syndrome"</a></li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
