How does Jump Point Search algorithm work and why is it so efficient?

While trying out the below applet, I saw that this path finding algorithm called Jump Point Search yields significantly faster result than A* and Dijkstra.

What algorithms are there for picking colors for plot lines on graphs?

I’m interested in what algorithms or rules I can programmatically implement to generate RGB or HSV colors for plotlines to keep them visually distinct from the neighbors.

simple ‘defrag’ logic that minimizes changes?

Find the count of each word in a string

I am in a search of a better performant algorithm to implement a program, to find the count of each word in a sentence i.e.., a String in the programming sense.

Algorithm for Cyclical Sequence Alignment

Let’s say we have 3 cyclic sequences, each of them of length n and containing every number from the interval 1..n once.
