/** @file aystar.cpp Implementation of A*.

 * This file has the core function for %AyStar.
 * %AyStar is a fast path finding routine and is used for things like AI path finding and Train path finding.
 * For more information about %AyStar (A* Algorithm), you can look at
 * <A HREF='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-star_search_algorithm'>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-star_search_algorithm</A>.

/*
 * Friendly reminder:
 *  Call (AyStar).free() when you are done with Aystar. It reserves a lot of memory
 *  And when not free'd, it can cause system-crashes.
 * Also remember that when you stop an algorithm before it is finished, your
 * should call clear() yourself!
