Visual-TSP - a web application for travelling salesman problem visualization and solving.
Edit build.sh Bash script and set TARGET_DIR as you wish.
Visual-tsp.js file is a result of compilation from visual-tsp-jsx.js file.
Visual-tsp.js is a precompiled file, but if a recompilation is needed, a compiler such as Babel JS is required for React JSX compiling.
To start experimenting with TSP, open visual-tsp.html in your browser.
Client side application contains a TSP solver, but server side calculation is recommended for smoother UX.
'servers' directory contains TSP solver implementations for Python and Node.js.
Python application is based on Tornado server, see http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/ for installation instructions.
Once you have Tornado installed, start the server with command python3 tsp-solver.py
Node.js application is based on express, express-ws and permutation-engine.
Install tsp-solver.js with command npm install
Start the server with command node tsp-solver.js
Currently all implementations use brute force search to find the shortest routes. Brute force search is very inefficient way to solve a TSP and therefore the maximum count of "cities" is limited to 9.
This project includes a permutation-engine.js file from https://github.com/eriksank/permutation-engine
Following libraries are utilized via CDN:
oCanvas - Canvas drawing made easy http://ocanvas.org/
Redux - Application state container http://redux.js.org/
React - For listing the coordinates etc. https://facebook.github.io/react/
jQuery - For generic DOM manipulation etc. http://jquery.com/
Server implementations with different TSP solving algorithms are welcome. Each server should have their own directory under servers directory. Directories should be named with following naming convention:
implementationLanguage-algorithmName
