Rats Of The Maze
summary
A browser maze game demonstrates a working simulation and its implementation details the grid is a one-dimensional array of cell function objects with a four-slot neighbors array mazes are generated with a recursive backtracker stack algorithm actors run in a 60Hz game loop driven by requestAnimationFrame rats use simple flocking and a precomputed neighbor-based path heuristic to seek the human pathfinding records predecessors and applies a cost heuristic so the demo actually plays and scales with levels
