Javascript implementation of algorithms (and visualizations) from Russell And Norvig's "Artificial Intelligence - A Modern Approach"

Some Javascript visualizations that I admire, and would like to see similar kinds of things here:

• Red Blob Games: A* Tutorial
• Qiao Search Demo
• Nicky Case: Simulating the World
• Rafael Matsunaga: Genetic Car Thingy
• Lee Yiyuan: 2048 Bot

Prerequisites

• Node.js version 0.10.0 or newer
• Install jspm, eslint, gulp globally

npm install -g jspm
npm install -g eslint
npm install -g gulp

Installation

To run locally for development.

1. run npm install
2. run jspm install

Running

Start a local server, e.g. python -m SimpleHTTPServer for Python 2.x or python -m http.server for Python 3.x

Then visit localhost:8000 using your browser.

Deploying

To bundle the web app

1. run gulp bundle followed by gulp copy to bundle the app into build folder
2. Either serve build folder locally.
3. Or deploy it to gh-pages by running gulp deploy.

build

This directory contains the minified source code for production deployment.

Structure

The repository has the following structure:

• There is a directory for each chapter
• Each algorithm will have a algorithm.js where the main logic is to be implemented.
• Each algorithm will also have a c_algorithm.js which will have the javascript visualization.
• The index.html will include both the scripts.
• The c_algorithm.js will use AJAX to load algorithm.js into index.html as plain text for side-by-side reference of the reader.
• The index.html will also include main.js which contains minified version of global scripts like jQuery, angular etc
• See the index.html of chapter 2 for reference.

Contribution

Put the name of the chapter you want to contribute in the Division of work thread. Please squash all comits into a single comit.
