// goreland_example.go implements implements Pather for
// the sake of testing.  This functionality forms the back end for
// goreland_test.go, and serves as an example for how to use A* for a graph.


// The Magical World of Goreland, is where Ted Stevens and Al Gore are from.
// 
// It is composed of Big Trucks, and a Series of Tubes!
// 
// Ok, it is basically just a Graph.
// Nodes are called "Trucks" and they have X, Y coordinates
// Edges are called "Tubes", they connect Trucks, and they have a cost
// 
// The key differences between this example and the Tile world:
// 1) There is no grid.  Trucks have arbitrary coordinates.
// 2) Edges are not implied by the grid positions.  Instead edges are explicitly
//    modelled as Tubes.
// 
// The key similarities between this example and the Tile world:
// 1) They both use Manhattan distance as their heuristic
// 2) Both implement Pather
