--- Heuristic functions for search algorithms.
-- A <a href="http://theory.stanford.edu/~amitp/GameProgramming/Heuristics.html">distance heuristic</a>
-- provides an *estimate of the optimal distance cost* from a given location to a target.
-- As such, it guides the pathfinder to the goal, helping it to decide which route is the best.
--
-- This script holds the definition of some built-in heuristics available through jumper.
--
-- Distance functions are internally used by the `pathfinder` to evaluate the optimal path
-- from the start location to the goal. These functions share the same prototype:
-- local function myHeuristic(nodeA, nodeB)
-- -- function body
-- end
-- Jumper features some built-in distance heuristics, namely `MANHATTAN`, `EUCLIDIAN`, `DIAGONAL`, `CARDINTCARD`.
-- You can also supply your own heuristic function, following the same template as above.
