I can already hear the trash talking... Good luck, I'll be keeping an eye on this project for sure.

You could lay out a grid of nodes and when the sprite moves to the node that contains the pixel in question it moves from the center of the node to the pixel. Or some such thing.

Since you are hard-coding " the nodes to be "tiles in a grid" and the neighbors to be "either the 4 or 8 tiles touching a given one, you are making the algorithm less usable. I wouldn't call it less usable. He did preface it as "a simple A*..", I would say his take on ...
