18 years agoCompletely rewrite the loop-detection algorithm used to check game
simon [Sat, 10 Sep 2005 09:39:29 +0000 (09:39 +0000)]
Completely rewrite the loop-detection algorithm used to check game
completion, _again_. In r6174 I changed it from dsf to conventional
graph theory so that it could actually highlight loops as opposed to
just discovering that one existed. Unfortunately, yesterday I
discovered a fundamental graph-theoretic error in the latter
algorithm: if you had two entirely separate loops connected by a
single path, the path would be highlighted as well as the loops.

Therefore, I've reverted to the original dsf technique, combined
with a subsequent pass to trace around each loop discovered. This
version seems to do a better job of only highlighting the actual
loops.

James H has implemented a new `Tricky' difficulty level in Light Up:
a non-recursive level above Easy, which therefore moves the
recursive Hard mode further up still. Play-testing suggests that in
fact Tricky is often _harder_ than the old Hard mode, since the
latter had limited depth of recursion and would therefore spot
complex deductions only if it happened to start a recursion on the
right square; Tricky may be limited in the sophistication of its
complex deductions, but it never misses one, so its puzzles tend to
be hard all over.

Brand new difficulty level in Solo. The other day Gareth and I
independently discovered an advanced reasoning technique in Map, and
then it occurred to me that since Solo can also be considered as a
graph-colouring game the same technique ought to be applicable. And
it is; so here's a new difficulty level, `Extreme', which sits just
above Advanced. Grids graded `Extreme' by new-Solo will of course
fall into old-Solo's `Unreasonable' category (since they're not
soluble using the old set of non-recursive methods). A brief and
unscientific experiment suggests that about one in six Unreasonable
grids generated by old-Solo are classified Extreme by the new
solver; so the remaining Unreasonable mode (now containing a subset
of the grids it used to) hasn't actually become much harder.

Substantial infrastructure upheaval. I've separated the drawing API

and shoved a piece of middleware (drawing.c) in between to permit
interchange of multiple kinds of the latter. I've also added a
number of functions to the drawing API to permit printing as well as
on-screen drawing, and retired print.py in favour of integrated
printing done by means of that API.

The immediate visible change is that print.py is dead, and each
puzzle now does its own printing: where you would previously have
typed `print.py solo 2x3', you now type `solo --print 2x3' and it
should work in much the same way.

Advantages of the new mechanism available right now:
 - Map is now printable, because the new print function can make use
   of the output from the existing game ID decoder rather than me
   having to replicate all those fiddly algorithms in Python.
 - the new print functions can cope with non-initial game states,
   which means each puzzle supporting --print also supports
   --with-solutions.
 - there's also a --scale option permitting users to adjust the size
   of the printed puzzles.

Advantages which will be available at some point:
 - the new API should permit me to implement native printing
   mechanisms on Windows and OS X.

simon [Thu, 4 Aug 2005 11:16:10 +0000 (11:16 +0000)]
I am COMPLETELY GORMLESS. The Solo grid generator, when eliminating
clues from a filled grid, was using the algorithm

 - loop over the whole grid looking for a clue (or symmetry group of
   clues) which can be safely removed
 - remove it
 - loop over the whole grid again, and so on.

This was due to my vague feeling that removing one clue might affect
whether another can be removed. Of course this can happen - two
clues can be alternative ways of deducing the same vital fact so
that removing one makes the other necessary - but what _can't_
happen is for removing one clue to make another _become_ removable,
since you can only do that by _adding_ information. In other words,
after testing a clue and determining that it can't be removed, you
never need to test it again. Thus, a much simpler algorithm is

 - loop over the possible clues (or symmetry groups) _once_, in a
   random order
 - for each clue (group), if it is removable, remove it.

This still guarantees to leave the grid in a state where no further
clues can be removed, but it greatly cuts down puzzle generation
time and also simplifies the code. I am a fool for not having
spotted this in three and a half months!

18 years agoUntil now, Same Game has been the only puzzle in this collection
simon [Thu, 21 Jul 2005 18:06:31 +0000 (18:06 +0000)]
Until now, Same Game has been the only puzzle in this collection
which is unable to guarantee that every grid it generates can be
solved. So I'm eliminating that exception: this checkin contains a
more sophisticated grid generator which does guarantee solubility.
It's a bit slow (most noticeably on the 15x10c3 preset), and the
quality of the generated grids is slightly weird (a tendency toward
small regions rather than large sweeping areas of contiguous
colour); however, I'm willing to see the latter as a feature for
now, since making the game more challenging while simultaneously
guaranteeing it to be possible sounds like an all-round win to me.

From now on I'm raising my standards for contributions to this
collection. I made this fix to Same Game because I heard a user
_automatically assume_ that any puzzle in my collection would not be
so uncouth as to generate an impossible grid; as of this checkin
that's actually true, and I intend to maintain that standard of
quality henceforth.

(Guaranteeing a _unique_ solution is more of an optional extra,
since there are many games for which it isn't a meaningful concept
or isn't particularly desirable. Which is not to say that _some_
games wouldn't be of unacceptably low quality if they failed to
guarantee uniqueness; it depends on the game.)
