Grid-Based Pathfinding Visualization - Spiral Search Algorithm Example #1820900 (License: Personal Use)

This diagram illustrates a spiral search algorithm navigating a Cartesian grid, starting from the origin and expanding outward in concentric arcs until reaching a designated target point (marked with a solid black circle). An 'X' marks the final position of the search agent, and an arrow indicates the direction of movement upon target acquisition. The dashed line traces the traversal path, highlighting how such algorithms minimize redundant coverage in unknown environments.
