Requirements

• A redis server, I used Memurai because I'm on Windows, but you can just use redis if ur on Arch or something
• Rust nightly toolchain (for now), feel free to make a PR that doesnt require the nightly feature flags im lazy though
• Wiki dumps in SQL from any date (ungzipped), you need 3 tables: page, redirects, and pagelinks
  • If you want to skip the graph building, you can instead just use this redis dump I made from the 2023-04-01 wiki dumps
  • Also if you want to use this on thewikigame, I would use an older wiki dump (like ~2020), heres a redis dump I made from 2020-09-20

Setup

You can skip this if you're just using a prebuilt redis dump instead

• Set the folder with your wiki dumps and the timestamp of the wiki dumps in the `.env file
• Maybe edit the THREAD_COUNT const in the build module, I set it to how many cores I have and anything above that seemed to have the same or worse performance.
• Run cargo run --release -- build this took me 40 minutes to do.

Usage examples

• cargo run --release -- find Kangaroo Coca-Cola (~50ms)
• cargo run --release -- find Quantum_Physics Carpenter_bee (~8s)
• cargo run --release -- find Hairbrush Everhood (~400s)
• pnpm start run websocket used in server/wikipedia.user.js (install npm dependencies first)

Todo

• Maybe make the bfs optionally double-sides (optional cus its a bit more cheaty)
