We have two rules for our guests. No swearing. No banging. But, as you’ll find out on this week’s show, those rules do not apply to Team OLL. Obviously it’s because Simon wasn’t on the show so the rest of Team OLL felt we could break the rules. Worryingly this may mean that Simon is the responsible…

Slightly techy blog post this time. It's about my implementation of the A* path finding algorithm: https://capeguy.co.uk/2016/01/a-for-all/

A* for All January 22, 2016 By Ben A while back, I found myself looking for a simple C # implementation of the A* (pronounced ‘A Star’) path-finding algorithm to use in 80 Days for finding routes between cities from the raw map route data used by the game. If you’re not sure what the A* algorithm is…
