Question

8 Queens problem; need help starting it. Should I just create one 8x8 object array and make the queens claim their spots. Or should I make 8 columns with a queen each and have them... well lets just say that I need a push in the right direction.

Answer 1

Oh yeah this is for C#. But I dont think it matters.

Answer 2

well I guess you are refering to the game 8 queens and want to do this programically so I would probably make a logic table of some time in binary to figure out how to do this then translate that logic table into human readable code using if statements where each bit is a condition to the if statement. This is pretty complex though so I give my solution a 50% chance of success if you want to try this technique which is successful on a much smaller scale in FLASH AS 3.0 I put example here but its incomplete and just meant for vizualization purposes.

//first attempt?
0001 //row1
0010 // row2
0100 // row3
1000 // row 4

//second attempt
00000001//row0
00000010//row1
00000100//row2
00001000//row3
00010000//row4
00100000//row5
01000000//row6
10000000//row7

//repeat second attempt
10000000//row0
01000000//row1
00100000//row2
00010000//row3
00001000//row4
00000100//row5
00000010//row6
00000001//row7

//is third attempt needed ?

//gonna make me start IDE but then again maybe not my gut is telling me this will work without too much trouble.


I don't know how many times you need to repeat second attemp to find solution but I would make each peace move to each "attempt" and do a hit test in flash and just brute force the solution by changing the logic table/if statements untill you find a table with the solution. Time consuming I know but the math eludes me and you will learn somethig about binary logic along the way. :( take all of this with a grain of salt I'm a self proclaimed/trained errrr projected geek?
