Challenge for you scripters
|
Okay heres the deal i have a 3x3 puzzle i have to solve in this game illustrated as such
| Code: |
a1 a2 a3
b1 b2 b3
c1 c2 c3
each one of those has one of two values
Awake or Asleep
In Text Strings for awake and asleep
A great stone head is here, peacefully asleep.
A great stone head is here, grumpily awake.
What i need to do is write a script to handle figuring out the solution given the puzzle
so heres how it works
a1 - changes a1 b1 a2
b1 - changes a1 b1 c1 b2
c1 - changes b1 c1 c2
a2 - changes a1 a2 a3 b2
b2 - changes b1 a2 b2 c2 b3
c2 - changes c1 b2 c3
a3 - changes a2 a3 b3
b3 - changes b2 a3 b3 c3
c3 - changes c2 b3 c3
|
so i figure i can prompt each person for the variables
| Code: |
#PROMPT a1 "What is the status of a1-top left"
#PROMPT a2 "What is the status of a2-top middle"
#PROMPT a3 "What is the status of a3-top right"
#PROMPT b1 "What is the status of b1-middle left"
#PROMPT b2 "What is the status of b2-middle middle"
#PROMPT b3 "What is the status of ab-middle right"
#PROMPT c1 "What is the status of c1-bottom left"
#PROMPT c2 "What is the status of c2-bottom middle"
#PROMPT c3 "What is the status of c3-bottom right"

and then run then into a solution solver that spits out the moves to make to solve it. However i havent even come up with anything that remotely can do that other than randomly try. the goal is to get them all sleeping. Heres a start we just had on this puzzle
S S S
S A S
A A A
Was easy to solve
bottom middle makes them all sleeping
However most of the time its not this simple and it changes so im hoping to get this working. If you can help by all means take me up on the challenge because it has me stumped. |

does the mud have a "scan" or scout command that lets you see whats in the rooms adjacent? if so i would say save to a var what is in the current room and compare it to what is in the rooms next to you and then move to the next room with the awake one saving where you just came from. obviously you will have to a bit of error checking to make sure you are not running in a 4 room circle instead of moving through the whole area... well at the very least maybe this will help you get started :P
