CLUSTER ANATHEM-SALESMAN-SCREENSAVER · 4 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-26

TSP and Teglon solvers

This cluster contains three projects that solve or visualize traveling-salesman-type puzzles, including the Teglon tiling from Anathem, often as screensavers. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from—it predates the index or its members are undated. Among the members, teglon leads on traction with 2 stars.
