C CODE |
Wolves versus Sheep -- the eternal struggle continues. This code attempts to generate a square in which a given number of wolves are unable to attack a given number of sheep. For example: S S . . . | wvs -b 5 -s 3 -w 5 . . . W W | . . . . W | S . . . . | . . W W . | --------------+-------------------- S . S S . . | wvs -b 6 -s 5 -w 6 . . . . . W | S . S . . . | . . . . W . | . W . . . W | . W . . W . | --------------+-------------------- S . . | wvs -b 3 -s 1 -w 2 . . W | . W . | --------------+-------------------- Can't do it. | wvs -b 3 -s 2 -w 2Here's a bit of geeky code which attempts to generate a 6x6 Euler square. Damn it, if I can't take the time to find a proof that no such square exists, I'll exhaustively prove it to myself through brute force. |
