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.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 4 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
- 01teglon2★8 days—hobbyScreensaver and solver that displays and explores the Teglon tiling puzzle from Neal Stephenson's novel Anathem.
- 02lazy-peregrin1★8 days—hobbyScreensaver that visualizes a travelling-salesman-inspired problem from Anathem, animating a character visiting sites across procedurally generated maps.
- 03triangulated-tsp-solver0★25 days—hobbyBrowser-based solver and visualizer for Euclidean traveling salesman problems that improves tours with geometric moves and exactly solves small instances.
- 04knight-tour-visualizer-arena0★1 yrabandoned—ai-builthobbyInteractive visualizer for the Knight's Tour puzzle that lets users explore and solve chessboard paths.
Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
