2D Canvas Grid

This repository contains code for 2D Canvas Grid. It's a class which can be used to create Grid on html canvas. The grid consist of GridCell which can be accessed via api provided by Grid class and can be manipulated.

The motivation behind 2D Canvas Grid is to provide a way to implement and visualize algorithms like Depth First Search, Breadth First Search, Flood Fill, Maze Generation, Maze Path Finding without getting stuck into writing the visualization code. Instead 2D Canvas Grid provides simple to use api which abstracts Canvas in Grid and GridCell These can be use to draw over the canvas.

Flood Fill Example

``
function floodFill(g: Grid, griCell: GridCell) {
setTimeout(() => {
const neighbours: GridCell[] = g.getNeighbours(griCell, false, false, true);
if (neighbours.length != 0) {
neighbours.forEach(n => {
g.set(n.row, n.col, { ...n, fillColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,0.5)', isPassable: false }, true);
floodFill(g, n);
});
}
}, 200);
}

function createCanvas(width: number, height: number): HTMLCanvasElement {
const canvasHtmlElement: HTMLCanvasElement = document.createElement('canvas');
canvasHtmlElement.width = width;
canvasHtmlElement.height = height;
return canvasHtmlElement;
}

document.body.append(canvasHtmlElement);
const g = new Grid(400, 40, canvasHtmlElement);
floodFill(g, {row:2, col: 2});
