nqueens

A small demonstration of using the Reanimate library to produce animations programatically. Generates a GIF showing how to use depth-first search to solve the N-queens puzzle.

Building and running

For when you want to generate the animation yourself, or make tweaks to it.

Along with Stack for building the Haskell code, you'll need the following executables installed:

• ffmpeg >= 4.1.3
• gifsicle

Run the following commands from the top-level directory:

stack build nqueens:anim
stack exec anim render-final

This will render the raw output from the Reanimate library and do some post-processing to produce the final GIF.

See the documentation in anim.hs for what other build commands are available.
