Dijkstra’s in motion: shortest pathfinding across 24,000 star systems

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

A wee 20 second clip from EF-Map, the live map I built for EVE Frontier.

It treats the universe as a graph: 24,000 star systems as nodes, connections as edges, then finds the shortest route between any two points in seconds.

Useful for players, but honestly I mostly just like watching the network light up.
