	<brief_description>
		A* (or "A-Star") pathfinding tailored to find the shortest paths on 2D grids.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Compared to [AStar2D] you don't need to manually create points or connect them together. It also supports multiple type of heuristics and modes for diagonal movement. This class also provides a jumping mode which is faster to calculate than without it in the [AStar2D] class.
		In contrast to [AStar2D], you only need set the [member size] of the grid, optionally set the [member cell_size] and then call the [method update] method:
		[codeblocks]
		[gdscript]
		var astar_grid = AStarGrid2D.new()
		astar_grid.size = Vector2i(32, 32)
		astar_grid.cell_size = Vector2(16, 16)
		astar_grid.update()
		print(astar_grid.get_id_path(Vector2i(0, 0), Vector2i(3, 4))) # prints (0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4)
		print(astar_grid.get_point_path(Vector2i(0, 0), Vector2i(3, 4))) # prints (0, 0), (16, 16), (32, 32), (48, 48), (48, 64)
		[/gdscript]
		[csharp]
		AStarGrid2D astarGrid = new AStarGrid2D();
		astarGrid.Size = new Vector2i(32, 32);
		astarGrid.CellSize = new Vector2i(16, 16);
		astarGrid.Update();
		GD.Print(astarGrid.GetIdPath(Vector2i.Zero, new Vector2i(3, 4))); // prints (0, 0), (1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4)
		GD.Print(astarGrid.GetPointPath(Vector2i.Zero, new Vector2i(3, 4))); // prints (0, 0), (16, 16), (32, 32), (48, 48), (48, 64)

		</method>
		<method name="update">

			<description>
				Updates the internal state of the grid according to the parameters to prepare it to search the path. Needs to be called if parameters like [member size], [member cell_size] or [member offset] are changed. [method is_dirty] will return [code]true[/code] if this is the case and this needs to be called.
