I would be interested to hear what fraction of this script and README were generated by large language models. At first glance, the code contains a number of repetitive anti-patterns that 'feel like' they are Copilot-isms (e.g. large stacks of elif statements instead of using appropriate data structures), and the README is very verbose and includes a high fraction of filler words.

Pretty much the entire project.

I think so too. Also, what's the point of using git with commit messages like that? https://github.com/Dicklesworthstone/visual_astar_python/com...

LoL.

I've done that when testing CI pipelines or pushing up minor tweaks to a personal project... but committing and pushing so often.. maybe OP was editing right in GitHub?

I was developing on one remote machine and running/testing it another machine. This is just a fun little learning/diversion project... I don't really care about it having a meticulous git commit history.

I use git like that. It's my backup solution. There's no logic to the commits. I just commit and push when I feel I've done enough that it would suck if my computer fails and I lose it.
