# My dissertation project at uni
is to make an ant colony optimisation program to find the shortest route around TSP problems like this.

So give me a half a year and I'll find your solution for you.

# I read about using genetic algorithms to attempt to find fast solutions to TSP
I ended up using a similar system to try and solve the the trianglulated graph strippification problem to a empirically testable heuristic (rendering fps of the stripped mesh solution).

Great stuff... it landed me a job at pandemic studios.
