Visualizer for Graph Search Algorithms

Under Construction

The purpose of this repository is to create a generic visualizer for real-time graph search algorithms (A* or other).

Thrift

There is no automated build yet. Included in this repo is the 0.11.0 Windows executable.

cd thrift_compiler
win-thrift.exe -gen js -gen js:node visualizer.thrift

Then, copy the gen-js directory to /public/js/thrift and the gen-nodejs directory to /thrift_server

Then modify the files to export all structs and services. (This repo uses ES6 modules, but Thrift codegen apparently does not... and doesn't even "use strict")

The server

To spin up the server:

> npm install
> npm start

(Or on windows)

> npm install
> npm run-script start-win

Then browse to localhost for the web-based visualizer.

The port for the Binary Protocol Thrift server is set as 8080 and is not command-line configurable
