 Mousey the mouse heard that the Exploratorium was pretty cool. He's wondering if our class could pull together an exhibit of similar displays. Mousey was too small to use the mechanical devices, so he'd prefer computer programs or just smaller demos.

 Please try to find one path that visits everyone. You do not need to find the shortest one, but try to find the shortest path after you've successfully drawn a path to everyone's home. Once you've done this, consider yourself finished, unless you want to unlock the bonus challenges.

-**Design Challenge III** - Most likely, your program draws each edge in that you are choosing. If your Traveling Sales Person or Shortest Distance program does not animate yet, add a button called "animate." This animation should demonstrate the search algorithm that you are using (similar to Visual Sorting).

 We've talked about Depth-First and Breadth-First Search. Now, let's do A* Search. A* is used for AI Pathfinding.
-Try this part ONLY if you feel up to the coding challenge. You may also go back and ENHANCE your Seurat program (being able to resize the ellipses) or the Visual Sort (adding a pause/randomize button).

 Alan Turing has asked you out on a date. He said he'd meet you at a location on Stanford campus, but has yet to tell you where. Since he is such a hottie, you decide to write a program that helps you find the shortest distance from one point to another. Use a 32x32 grid. Use a heart to indicate the destination of your true love.
