EDSalesmanSolver

##What is

This is a simple script for the game Elite Dangerous that tries to solve the "Travelling Salesman" problem.

##How install Download the index.html file. Run it in your favourite modern browser.

##How use

1. You give it an up to date systems data list available from here.
   • Note that systems.json may crash your browser, and you'll be better off with systems_populated.json. I have plans to add some sort of batch based processing for the larger file but I haven't got around to it yet.
     • Note note: It seems that Microsoft Edge can handle the larger file, where Chrome can't. Make of that what you will.
2. You give it your starting system (eg. lave) and a list of systems you wish to go to (eg. witchhaul,fujin,39 tauri).
3. Press submit
4. The script will calculate and output the fastest (in terms of lightyears) route between all given systems from your starting point.
