- A paper I wrote about the Tower of Hanoi (D. Romik. Shortest paths in the Tower of Hanoi graph and finite automata. SIAM J. Disc. Math. 20 (2006), 610-622)
- The Tower of Hanoi puzzle with four disks, state graph and visualization of a shortest path
- The Tower of Hanoi puzzle with five disks
- Animation of a Tower of Hanoi solution with four disks
- Animation of a Tower of Hanoi solution with four disks and the associated shortest path in the state graph
