c++ - 无对角线移动的星型算法

Question

情况: 我正在尝试将 A* 算法转换为不允许对角线移动的 C++ 代码，但我有一些奇怪的行为。

我的问题:即使没有可能的对角线移动，是否也需要考虑对角线成本。 当我在没有对角线成本的情况下进行计算时(“启发式”因子为 10)，我的 fscore 总是相同的 80(你可以在我计算 fscore、gscore 和 hscore 的第二张图片中看到这一点)这看起来真的很奇怪我。因此(几乎所有节点的 fscore 都为 80)该算法似乎不起作用，因为许多节点具有相同的最小 fscore 80。

或者这是正常行为，没有对角线的 A* 星实现是否必须执行更多工作(因为更多节点具有相同的最小 fscore)？

我不认为这个问题与我的代码有任何关系，而不是与我的推理有关，但我还是发布了它:

我认为你的算法没有问题，如果没有对角线移动，就没有必要考虑了。 曼哈顿距离是一种简单的启发式方法，当您离目标节点越近时，H 函数给出的数字越小，尽管 G 函数(从第一个节点到此处的距离)变大。结果，许多节点具有相同的 f 分数。
