10610 - Gopher and Hawks - UVA

graph search algorithm - BFS

You are given some points in a grid and have to calculate whether you can reach a end point from a start point or not. When you leave a point to reach another point you can just run for m*60 seconds, if you run more you will disappear ;-). So "distance between pi and pk / V < m*60" must satisfy to be sure that you can go from pi to pk, in this way I create adjacency matrix and then easily run a BFS on the graph to find the shortest path from the start point to the end point.
