This is so cool: graphical [Wayback/Archive] Introduction to the A* Algorithm

It is still being updated, which is even cooler:

These are for general graph traversal. That Wikipedia article only mentions depth-first search and breadth-first search, but forgets the A* search algorithm which is an extension of the also not mentioned Dijkstra’s algorithm which in turn is based on breadth-first search.

The visualisations cover the breadth-first algorithms.

The example code is Python based, but easy to translate into other languages.

The visualisation code is in JavaScript, using these files (they Archive.is versions are more accurate than the Wayback Machine ones):
