Sudoku/puzzles possible

beaudoin_n

Hi,

How would someone go about this ?
I am thinking of having the grid as objects (ie pos1,pos2,pos3,pos4)... or one object reused...
Then having target values for each position

having some code to fill in the blanks

And a button to launch validation... but i didn't see anywhere where i can compare values..
ie if text.pos1 = targetvaluepos1 then win game.

Any thoughts

No thoughts ?

a sudoku game should be pretty easy as long as you have defined positions, like you said: pos1, pos2, pos3, pos4.

like this:

pos1 pos2 pos3
pos4 pos5 pos6
pos7 pos8 pos9

allow users to put in any value

in your validation rules have more attributes like row1 row2 row3 grid1

row1 = pos1 + pos2 + pos3
row2 = pos4 + pos5 + pos6

grid1 = pos1 + pos2 ...+ pos6

when you validate, just make sure row1 is equal to a value, same with grid1.

Might not be the best way of doing things, but it should get you started.

How does the validation button get to have rules that depend on the other objects ?

jonmulcahy

all the other objects do is assign values to the global attributes you need to create. then when you validate you just add those up and see if it fits, if it doesn't, they need to try again.

Since there is no keyboard (yet) what would be the best way to let the users choose the numbers ?

I am still trying to figure out how to have some interactions between objects..... like if i set up some kind of keyboard, how do i then assign the value to the grid.

Maybe i am asking a stupid question

gregr209

I would just list the numbers 0-9 down the screen (doing them in something like photoshop) and then make them into buttons that would transfer the number pushed to the square.

jonmulcahy

yea, what gregr209 said would work, you could also have the users click on the space to change numbers, it could automatically loop though 0-9

Thanks for the suggestion...
I opted for the touching and changing the numbers.. easier than the keyboard i think...

Now if i want to make several grids and keep the best time for each grid
I guess i have to have a game attribute for each level time.

So far not a problem, but how can i assign them dynamically, ie if i am on grid 1 and i validate (save time to grid1besttime) but if i am on grid 23 i need to save to grid23besttime.
what's the best way of doing this without having to hardcode all over the place ?

Any limits on the number of scenes ?
I am thinking of having several grids maybe hundreds.. will i go over any limits ?

How about size < 10Megs ..

Thanks
