It's explained in the second part. An uncommon name for genetic algorithms, basically.
It would be cool to try to do an all faction speed run and calculate how much faster it gets with 2 or 3 or 4 players calculate s route, and give specific instructions.
You would need to modify the code for these calculations slightly, and keep track of what items are like local to one player and what prerequisites are global (one player can complete for everyone).
I think multiple players balloons the search space, but it probably scales rather linearly time wise for the number of players.
There is also an "all factions" speedrun, planning which took a lot of math:
I see, thanks! Bookmarklets will be easier to implement than custom domains, but I'll see how the demand goes. I've opened Kimonote up for a free public beta in the meantime if you're interested: https://kimonote.com/accounts/signup/
Name: Kimonote URL: https://kimonote.com Location: Cambridge, UK Pitch: Kimonote is a minimalist note organizer and blogging platform that focuses on ease of navigation and control over what content the user wishes to follow. Features include: * Tag suggestion: uses some basic machine learning to suggest tags based on a note's contents and tags in similar notes (WIP). * Tag-based navigation: links to several next/previous notes on a the current note's tags (so there's no need to set up complex interlinking between notes, just give them the same tag). * Streams: ability to view and follow just several tags from a given user or any combination of tags and users -- and get an RSS feed/email newsletter of those. * Lightweight: currently uses no JavaScript (except for MathJax in a couple of blog posts). The empty skeleton page (as in if I subtract the size of the actual blog text from the total page size) is about 15KB uncompressed.
There's a demo on https://kimonote.com/demo that showcases most of these features and doesn't require registration or email.
Looking for: Feedback. I haven't opened it to signups yet because I've no idea if I want it to go the completely free and ad-supported route, the mostly free-with-a-premium tier route or a completely paid for route. It's mostly functional (I host my own blog on it so I'm tempted to hold a public beta, but I'm not sure how (or whether) to promote it.
