Ice Puzzle Solver

Have you ever been playing your favorite top down, 2D game and you get to a snowy area... and it has icy floor tiles that make your character slide until you hit something?
Wish you had something that could find the best route to navigate these areas?
Or perhaps you want something to help design an icy torture zone for your own project?
Well this is the tool for you.

This tool lets you lay out your own arrangement of icy floor tiles, assign a start and end tile, then run an algorithm to find the optimal path.

It's a pretty simple and straight-forward tool.👌
Open the application, check the menu for usage instructions and solve away!

Note: You can layout a puzzle completely devoid of ice and the solver will handle it just as well. In this way you can use it to solve things like traditional mazes.
