Indoor Building Navigation System

This Python-based application helps users navigate large hospital or college buildings by finding the shortest path between two locations using the A* algorithm. The building is modeled as a 2D grid.

Description

This project is a graphical indoor navigation tool for hospitals, built with Python's Tkinter GUI toolkit. It visualizes a hospital layout as a grid, where users can select start and destination locations (e.g., Reception, ER, ICU) from dropdowns. The system then calculates the shortest walkable path between them using the A* pathfinding algorithm and displays it on a grid map. Walls, stairs, and key locations are visually distinguished, and a legend helps users understand the layout.

Progress During Hackathon

We built this project using python. We used the tkinter module to build the UI of the application, A* algorithm to find shortest paths from position A to position B inside a hospital or school
