Unknot Teaser

A couple of years back, I made a proof-of-concept, search-based AI to solve ThinkFun's Gordian's Knot, a disassembly puzzle that I particularly like. It included rudimentary support for OpenGL rendering and state-space visualization with Graphviz. While an interesting novelty, I never put in the time to polish it for release.

But it gave me an idea: what if we could explore not only the state-space of this particular puzzle, but the state-space of all rectilinear disassembly puzzles?

Hmm... 🤔
