A* Pathfinding really slow

I have an A* pathfinding algorithm that I've used for a Spigot plugin which worked fine. I then added a requirements system so it won't try and pathfind through places it shouldn't. Now it seems REALLY slow, and it looks like it has nothing to do with the requirements code itself, and more to do with the algorithm having many more incorrect paths when calculating. I seem to be getting 1500ms+ on this, which is definitely not good xD
Here is the pathfinder code:
public Path calculate(PathfinderGoal goal, PathScorer scorer, List<PathRequirement> requirements, int maxNodes) {
PathNode start = toNode(npc.getLocation());
PathNode end = toNode(goal.getLocation());
List<PathNode> open = new ArrayList<>() {{ add(start); }};
List<PathNode> navigated = new ArrayList<>();
start.setF(scorer.computeCost(start, end));
Timer timer = new Timer().start();
while (!open.isEmpty()) {
PathNode current = null;
for (PathNode node : open) {
if (current == null || node.getH() < current.getH()) {
current = node;
}
}
if (scorer.computeCost(current, end) < 1 || (navigated.size() >= maxNodes && maxNodes != -1)) {
navigated.add(navigated.size() < maxNodes ? end : current);
return reconstruct(navigated, navigated.size() - 1);
}
open.remove(current);
current.close();
for (PathNode node : current.getNeighbors()) {
if (node.isClosed()) {
continue;
}
double tentG = current.getG() + scorer.computeCost(current, node);
if (!open.contains(node) || tentG < node.getG()) {
boolean requirementsMet = true;
for (PathRequirement requirement : requirements) {
requirement.setNavigated(navigated);
if (!navigated.isEmpty() && !requirement.canMoveToNewNode(navigated.get(navigated.size() - 1), node)) {
requirementsMet = false;
break;
}
}
if (!navigated.contains(current)) {
navigated.add(current);
}
node.setG(tentG);
node.setH(scorer.computeCost(node, end));
node.setF(tentG + node.getH());
if (!open.contains(node) && requirementsMet) {
open.add(node);
}
}
}
Bukkit.broadcastMessage("Open Set Size: " + open.size());
Bukkit.broadcastMessage(timer.stop() + "ms");
}
return null;
}
private Path reconstruct(List<PathNode> navigated, int index) {
final PathNode current = navigated.get(index);
Path withCurrent = new Path(new ArrayList<>() {{ add(current); }});
if (index > 0 && navigated.contains(current)) {
return reconstruct(navigated, index - 1).append(withCurrent);
}
return withCurrent;
}
And here is the PathNode class:
public PathNode(Pathfinder pathfinder, int x, int y, int z) {
this.pathfinder = pathfinder;
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z;
}
#Override
public boolean equals(Object other) {
if (!(other instanceof PathNode otherNode)) {
return false;
}
return otherNode.x == x && otherNode.y == y && otherNode.z == z;
}
public List<PathNode> getNeighbors() {
return new ArrayList<>() {
{
for (int x = -1; x <= 1; x++) {
for (int y = -1; y <= 1; y++) {
for (int z = -1; z <= 1; z++) {
add(new PathNode(pathfinder, PathNode.this.x + x, PathNode.this.y + y, PathNode.this.z + z));
}
}
}
}
};
}
public Location getLocation() {
return new Location(pathfinder.getNPC().getLocation().getWorld(), x, y, z);
}
public double getF() {
return F;
}
public void setF(double f) {
this.F = f;
}
public double getG() {
return G;
}
public void setG(double g) {
this.G = g;
}
public double getH() {
return H;
}
public void setH(double h) {
this.H = h;
}
public boolean isClosed() {
return closed;
}
public void close() {
this.closed = true;
}
Valid Requirements Class:
public class ValidPathRequirement extends PathRequirement {
#Override
public boolean canMoveToNewNode(PathNode from, PathNode to) {
Block fromBlock = from.getLocation().getBlock();
Block toBlock = to.getLocation().getBlock();
boolean validHeight = toBlock.getType().isAir() && toBlock.getRelative(BlockFace.UP).getType().isAir(); // checks if is player height
boolean validGround = toBlock.getRelative(BlockFace.DOWN).getType().isSolid(); // is there a block underneath that they can stand on?
boolean validFromPrev = toBlock.getLocation().subtract(fromBlock.getLocation()).getY() <= 1; // is it max one block higher than the last one?
// is this one causing issues?
Location fromLocDist = from.getLocation().clone();
Location toLocDist = to.getLocation().clone();
toLocDist.setY(fromLocDist.getY());
boolean validDistance = fromLocDist.distance(toLocDist) <= 1;
return validHeight && validGround && validFromPrev;
}
}

Without looking at the rest of the algorithm, the first thing that stands out is that your data structures are incorrect. The "open" list needs to be a Priority Queue, and "closed" (or "navigated") should be a set.

Error: Could not find or load main class classname [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What does "Could not find or load main class" mean?
(61 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I've been working on a project recently and I have come to the end of my compilation, moving out of Eclipse and into cmd. I have a single .java names PA3 containing multiple classes.
My task is to compile the program with:
javac PA3.java
And to run the program with the command:
java PA3 test.dat
where test.dat is a placeholder (no need to worry about that)
When I compile, all the classes compile properly as shown:
here
All I seem to run into is issues regarding

Edit: Removing the 'linkedlist.package' and pulling the .java and .text files, they still retain the same error when compiling and running

If you want to run files that are in a package, make sure all your java files that are part of the package are in a folder named the package name (i.e. linkedlist).
Then, in the directory outside your package folder, do:
javac linkedlist/*.java
java linkedlist.PA3

A* Pathfinding - Weird Bug in Multi-Floored Maps

I'm attempting to create a game "dungeon" map generator in Java in the style of roguelike etc. games. I generate rooms randomly, and then connect them with corridors. I'm trying to use A* pathfinding in corridor creation. I currently am creating just one corridor between rooms in the indices 1 and 2, if there is more than one room.
For some reason, the corridor creation seems to fail when I try to generate more than 1 maps ("floors"). The amount of floors is specified as a command-line parameter. Thus far, when I've generated just one floor, everything works perfectly. My gut feeling says that there's something about the floors that messes up my algorithm.
I thought that maybe an outside view of the project could help. There is quite a lot of code, but I'd be very grateful if someone took the time to review it. I can provide more information if it's needed.
THE RESULTS
The result, when correct, should look like this:
Map 1
# wall
. floor
+ door
$ corridor
..............................
..............................
..............................
..............................
..............................

In AStar, your A* pathfinding algorithm adds to its opened and closed lists before returning the chosen path
When pathfinding with different start/end destinations or a different map, those lists will need to be reset
The issue is that you're reusing the AStar object for each path you're trying to find, causing conflicts with old searches
To fix it, use a new AStar object for every path you search, or add a method to clear the old data

I removed this line from the Generator constructor:
public Generator(int mapWidth, int mapHeight, int floors) {
// pathfinder = new AStar(); // REMOVED THIS LINE
...
}
And I added the following line to the Generator.generateMaps method:
public List<Map> generateMaps() {
List<Map> mapList = new ArrayList<>();
for(int i = 0; i < floors; i++) {
pathfinder = new AStar(); // ADDED THIS LINE
Map map = new Map(i + 1, mapWidth, mapHeight, generateRooms(mapWidth, mapHeight), null);
generateDoors(map, map.getRooms());
debugFindPath(map);
mapList.add(map);
}
return mapList;
}
And now everything seems to work.
Another option is to add the following lines to AStar.findPath():
public List<Coords> findPath(Coords start, Coords end, Map map) {
openList = new ArrayList<>();
closedList = new ArrayList<>();
...
}

Java .OBJ File Loader

I have quite a long question that I hope someone can help me with. I'm having some trouble loading a obj file to the format i would like. I'm trying to load the file's vertices and texture coords into an array of the following:
public class Vertex {
private float x;
private float y;
private float z;
private float u;
private float v;
public Vertex(float x, float y, float z, float u, float v) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z;
this.u = u;
this.v = v;
}
public float getX() {
return x;
}
public float getY() {
return y;
}
public float getZ() {
return z;
}
public float getU() {
return u;
}
public float getV() {
return v;
}
}
After this is done I would like the all the indices in an array of the following:
public class Index3 {
private int i1;
private int i2;
private int i3;
public Index3(int i1, int i2, int i3) {
this.i1 = i1;
this.i2 = i2;
this.i3 = i3;
}
public int getI1() {
return i1;
}
public int getI2() {
return i2;
}
public int getI3() {
return i3;
}
}
I have these two arrays being drawn to the screen just fine when I code the arrays myself, but my obj loader is clearly not correct.

}
for (int i = 0; i < indices.size(); i++) {
finalIndices[i] = indices.get(i);
}
return new Mesh(vertices, finalIndices);
}
private static OBJFace parseFace(String face) {
String[] split = face.split("/");

int vti = -1;
int vni = -1;
vi = Integer.parseInt(split[0]) - 1;

}
When I draw a cube from a obj file using this loader a very distorted bunch of triangles are drawn randomly in the area of the cube.
Ultimately I'm asking were in the loader did I go wrong and how can I fix it.
Thanks for any help!!!

Viterbi algorithm in java

I'm doing the coursera NLP course and the first programming assignment is to build a Viterbi decoder. I think I'm really close to finishing it but there is some elusive bug which I cannot seem to be able to trace. Here is my code:
http://pastie.org/private/ksmbns3gjctedu1zxrehw
http://pastie.org/private/ssv6tc8dwnamn2qegdvww
So far I've debugged the "teaching" related functions so I can say that the parameters for the algorithms are being correctly estimated. Of particular interest is the viterbi() and findW() methods. The definition of the algorithm I'm using can be found here: http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~mcollins/hmms-spring2013.pdf on page 18.
One thing which I'm having hard time wrapping my head around is how am I supposed to update the backpointers for the special cases when K = {1, 2} (in my case this is 0 and 1, since I'm zero-indexing my array) respectively the parameters I'm using in those cases are q({TAGSET} | *, *) and q ({TAGSET} | *, {TAGSET}).
Hints rather than spoon-fed answers will also be highly appreciated!

Here's a simple implementation of viterbi decoder by Yusuke Shunyama =) http://cs.nyu.edu/yusuke/course/NLP/viterbi/Viterbi.java

Here are some suggestions:
You should draw out the HMM lattice if you have any confusion about how transitions are occurring in your model.
For instance, you can view transitions to the first hidden state as originating from a single start hidden state, so the backpointer for k=0 would always have to point to this start state. In your code, you probably should not be looping over hidden states for k=0 in findW (which seems correct), but you probably should be looping for k=1.
Usually multiplying transition and emission probabilities in HMM inference lead to very small floating point values, which can lead to numerical errors. You should add log probabilities instead of multiplying probabilities.
To check viterbi or forward-backward implementations, I usually also write a brute force method and compare the output of each. If the brute-force and dynamic-programming algorithm match on short sequences, then that gives a reasonable measure of confidence that both are correct.
