A* Algorithm: Manhattan Distance vs. Euclidean Distance

Since movement is restricted to 4 directions (up, down, left, right), Manhattan Distance heuristic perfectly estimates cost, minimizing unnecessary exploration (fewer blue nodes).

Because diagonal movement is not allowed, Euclidean Distance heuristic underestimates the true cost, leading to wider exploration (more blue nodes) to ensure the optimal path.
