Finding the shortest path with the A* algorithm and its heuristics

Developed in 1968 by P. Hart, N. Nilsson and B. Raphael, the A* algorithm (pronounced A-star) is an extension of Dijkstra's algorithm. It tries to optimize searches by guessing the traversal direction thanks to heuristics. Thanks to this approach, it is known to be faster than Dijkstra's algorithm, especially for large graphs.
