Detailed Description

Animated Knight's Tour visualizer using MXVK Python sprites.

Implements Warnsdorff-style move selection, board rendering, and interactive tour playback through a Python VK_Window subclass. It also demonstrates sprite generation from one-pixel NumPy textures, joystick polling, screenshots, and explicit resource release.

Running the example

python3 python-examples/knight/knight.py --resolution 960x720 --enable-vsync

Controls

• Space: advance one Knight's Tour move.
• Enter or right mouse button: restart the tour.
• Left mouse button: start a tour at the selected board cell.
• S: save a screenshot.
• Escape: exit.

Design notes

Tour owns the search state and is independent of Vulkan. KnightsTourWindow maps that state into reusable sprites and text during proc().
