Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Hashi Puzzle solver

This package allows you to solve the popular japanese puzzle Hashiwokakero (also known as Bridges, and Hashi). An application that implements this package is available at https://hashi-puzzles.com and the solver is available here.

Solver

You can play with the solver on the Hashi Puzzles application at the following link:

Generator

Also, I have a hashi generator library that is available on

Installation

Install the package with npm.

npm install bridges-solver

Usage instructions

import { solver } from "bridges-solver";

const puzzle = [
  [0, 2, 0, 5, 0, 0, 2],
  [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
  [4, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 4],
  [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
  [0, 1, 0, 5, 0, 2, 0],
  [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
  [4, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3]
];

const result = solver(puzzle);

Simply import the solver and pass a matrix representing the puzzle where zeros represent empty spaces in the puzzle.

Result

The solver function returns a result object with the solved status, final solution and the intermediate puzzles (steps). The intermediate puzzles can be used to create an animation for the solving process or to help with debugging.

interface SolverResult {
  solved: boolean;
  solution: Puzzle;
  steps: Puzzle[];
}

The solution of the above puzzle:

[
  ["0", "2", "=", "5", "-", "-", "2"],
  ["0", "0", "0", "$", "0", "0", "|"],
  ["4", "=", "2", "$", "2", "=", "4"],
  ["$", "0", "0", "$", "0", "0", "|"],
  ["$", "1", "-", "5", "=", "2", "|"],
  ["$", "0", "0", "0", "0", "0", "|"],
  ["4", "=", "=", "=", "=", "=", "3"]
];

The solution contains special characters for the vertical and horizontal bridges:

| Character | Meaning | | --------- | ---------------------- | | | | one vertical bridge | | $ | two vertical bridges | | - | one horizontal bridge | | = | two horizontal bridges |

Building

To build the package run the following script:

npm run build
