MIDNIGHT THERAPY

OVERVIEW

This project is an extension to the Pathery website (www.pathery.com). It does two main things:

1. Based off of https://github.com/WuTheFWasThat/midnighttherapy
2. Extend the client (browser) to do things like show block values and save/load of solutions.
3. Lets the website interact with a personal server (running a solver), to facilitate human-computer interaction.

Hotkey	Action

RUNNING THE SERVER

First you'll need a server running.

1. Clone this repo and cd into it (How to install git)
2. Install Node (How to)
3. npm install express
4. Run locally: (or just npm start, if you have npm)

Next, add the client to the browser window.

1. Go to Pathery
2. Paste

$.getScript('https://raw.github.com/WuTheFWasThat/midnighttherapy/master/pathery-client.js')

into the Javascript console.

TUNING

Edit MAX_DEPTH in pathery_server.js to change how many blocks the solver places. Right now on a 2013 Macbook Pro it can do ~8 block in simple ~10s.

FUTURE WORK:

• Partial-Path caching

• Better hashing algorthm for positions. Right now the hash key is the array of block placed sorted then toString()ed.

Like {"[0,1]": 1, "[0,1],[0,2]": 1...}
