Latin Squares visualizations. To see it in action, visit at http://mrhen.github.io/latin-squares.

Technical Overview

• D3 for the visualizations
• TypeScript (but mostly because I wanted to see how hard it was to prototype in JS and then port to TypeScript)
• gulp build pipeline similar to what was used on obtuse-octo-adventure
• Deployed at http://mrhen.github.io/latin-squares
  • Deploy using gulp deploy from root directory
  • Builds the entire app and publishes the files to GitHub Pages
• Node ready -- added for the sake of local testing
• No external front-end libraries but it was tempting to use Angular to handle the dependency loading
• Code is organized by visualization (Cell, Hive, Constraint). It could also be organized by each conceptual layer (Builder, Draw, Update).
• Includes a Dancing Links implementation (special thanks to @taeric for their Dancing Links example)

Next steps

• Sudoku variant
• Visualizations for DLX specifically
• gists for each visualization on their own
• Publish the dlx module to make it easier to spread around similar projects
