**Considering maze generation and solving**

I'm focused on using A* while considering neighbor connectivity with walls removed. I imagine visuals where I draw walls and color visited cells and paths differently. Starting from the top-left and aiming for the bottom-right, I'll need controls like buttons for generating a new maze, toggling animation, and selecting algorithms. Keeping things simple, I think of using an iterative recursive backtracker for maze generation, and I'll implement this as a generator function so that it can animate the solving process, too.**Implementing pathfinding and maze visuals**

I need to highlight the path once it’s found and make sure the canvas size fits the container while scaling for clarity. I’ll create cells in a 2D array, managing wall bits, and ensure the algorithms only recognize neighbors when walls are removed. For A*, each neighbor has a cost of 1, and I’ll use generators to yield objects that contain information needed for drawing. The main animator will call these generators in a way that allows for a smooth visual update. I'll also set up the HTML structure for canvas and controls, ensuring everything is neatly organized.
