# Search Algorithm Playground
Search Algorithm Playground is a python package to work with graph related algorithm, mainly dealing with different Artificial Intelligence Search alorithms.
The tool provides an user interface to work with the graphs and visualise the effect of algorithm on the graph while giving the freedom to programmer to make adjustments in the way they wants.
It also provides a way to save the graph in json format hence enabling the programmers to share the files and use different algorithm on same graph with ease.
The package is made using [pygame](https://www.pygame.org/) module.
> Currently supports only undirected graphs

# Installation
## Install from pip
```
pip install SearchAlgoPlayground
```
## Manually install it
Copy the [repository](https://github.com/SobyDamn/SearchAlgorithmPlayground) in your system then do
```
python setup.py install
```
You can also copy/paste the SearchAlgoPlayground folder into your project

# Controls
## **Creating a node**
Double click on any empty block will create a node on it.
> NOTE: Single click highlights the selected block and info label area will display it's location in 2D Matrix.
<br>

<br>
## **Creating an edge between two nodes**
Clicking on a node single time selects the node for creating an edge with that.
<br>
Select one node, once selected select another node to create an edge between them.

<br>
## **Modify element mode**
Double click on any element makes it go in modify mode which allows the element to be deleted or edited.
To delete an edge double click on it and then press _DELETE_

To edit an edge weight double click and use keyboard to modify it's value, once done hit _ENTER_ or click anywhere else.

To delete a node double click on it and then hit _DELETE_ on keyboard

To edit node label double click on a node and use keyboard to modify the label, once done hit _ENTER_ or click anywhere else.
> NOTE: Label of a node must be unique

<br>
## **Move nodes on the playground**
Click on the node and drag it on the playground.
