Well, here is the stupidest of them all: the hanoi solving vi macros. Save this article, unshar it, and run uudecode on hanoi.vi.macros.uu. This will give you the macro file hanoi.vi.macros. Then run vi (with no file: just type "vi") and type: :so hanoi.vi.macros g and watch it go. The default height of the tower is 7 but can be easily changed by editing the macro file. The disks aren't actually shown in this version, only numbers representing each disk, but I believe it is possible to write some macros to show the disks moving about as well. Any takers?
