// This program is a submission of the "A* Practical" for course CA686

// The approach i have used is to implement A* within each iteration when the "program" moves the "enemy"
// Using A* star, for each move, i calculate the optimum route to the agent from the enemy and store this within an array (path)
// then using the path, i select the next move for the enemy.
// I dont allow the enemy to move onto the same square as the agent as i found, this counterproductive to trying to trap him/her.
// Option to turn on diagonals, i found the enemy moves alot quicker towards the agent, and once found the found the enemy was able to keep pace with the agent giving a low score (<25%). 
// I observed that even though the enemy was quicker at moving towards the agent in this instance, he/she didn't trap the agent any quicker.
// Option to turn on A star search to be used for comparision reasons, against previous search.
// A Star out performed the previous search every time.

// Tweeks
// During the neighbor slection, if one of the neighbors is the agent, I stop the search

// ****Stragies to counter enemy****
// When choosing next move the following pointers would help the agent
// 1) Next move should maximise distance from enemy
// 2) Only select a move where its neighbors are all either GRID_WALL or GRID_MAZE as last resort
// 3) Favour moves that put squares that are GRID_MAZE, between agent and enemy

// More complex starter World 
// 3d-effect Maze World (really a 2-D problem)
// Movement is on a semi-visible grid of squares 
//
// This more complex World shows:
// - Skybox
// - Internal maze (randomly drawn each time)
// - Enemy actively chases agent
// - Music/audio
// - 2D world (clone this and set show3d = false)
// - User keyboard control (clone this and comment out Mind actions to see)
// =============================================================================================


// =============================================================================================
// Scoring:
// Bad steps = steps where enemy is within one step of agent.
// Good steps = steps where enemy is further away. 
// Score = good steps as percentage of all steps.
//
// There are situations where agent is trapped and cannot move.
// If this happens, you score zero.
