Diagonal snake filling array: witty task

01 02 06 07
03 05 08 13
04 09 12 14
10 11 15 16

It is allowed to peek on Internet in other languages

I only get 1st corner so far

There are no universal solutions for all configurations anywhere

Is this like connect the dots or what? It's a simple enough to read and connect pattern, so what's the deal?

Make a 2d array.
Start at 0,0.

DO
   Move right one.
   Fill diagonal left/down.
   Move down one.
   Fill diagonal up/roght.
LOOP until all is filled.

Honestly Steve, I don't know if I'd even fiddle with it if I wasn't working on a current project, because in theory, it seems so freakin' easy.

Some cheating involved, but looks good.

Just think outside the box...

00 00 01 02 06 07 00 00 00
00 00 03 05 08 13 00 00 00
00 00 04 09 12 14 00 00 00
00 00 10 11 15 16 00 00 00


Now from 01 go right 1, diagonal down 3. Right 1, diagonal up 3... and keep repeating the pattern until the numbered elements are all filled in.

And I see Fell came up with some code, as well.

Looked on the net and there is some info on this.  Not sure what this algorithm does.

Well I guess you could say it's too easy to do, ha! lazy ways...

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. _TITLE "N x N Matrix Diagonal Snake" ' b+ 2021-01-25
  2. n = 19 '<<<<  plug in here  19 is limit for screen 0
  3. FOR i = 1 TO n * n ' make our string of numbers
  4.     s$ = s$ + RIGHT$("   " + _TRIM$(STR$(i)), 4)
  5. place = 1: cnt = 1: dc = 1: startx = 1: starty = 1 ' init
  6. anotherDiagonal:
  7. slice$ = MID$(s$, place * 4 - 3, cnt * 4): toggle = 1 - toggle
  8. IF toggle THEN '  reverse the numbers in slice$
  9.     b$ = ""
  10.     FOR i = 1 TO cnt
  11.         b$ = MID$(slice$, i * 4 - 3, 4) + b$
  12.     NEXT
  13.     slice$ = b$
  14. x = startx: y = starty
  15. FOR i = 1 TO cnt
  16.     LOCATE y + 1, (x - 1) * 4 + 1: PRINT MID$(slice$, i * 4 - 3, 4)
  17.     x = x + 1: y = y - 1
  18. IF starty + 1 > n THEN startx = startx + 1: starty = n ELSE starty = starty + 1: startx = 1
  19. IF startx > n THEN SLEEP: END
  20. place = place + cnt
  21. IF cnt + dc > n THEN cnt = cnt - 1: dc = -1 ELSE cnt = cnt + dc
  22. GOTO anotherDiagonal
  23.  
  24.  

Oh in case you insist on putting 2 to the right of 1 then:
Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. _TITLE "N x N Matrix Diagonal Snake" ' b+ 2021-01-25
  2. n = 19 '<<<<  plug in here  19 is limit for screen 0
  3. FOR i = 1 TO n * n ' make our string of numbers
  4.     s$ = s$ + RIGHT$("   " + _TRIM$(STR$(i)), 4)
  5. place = 1: cnt = 1: dc = 1: startx = 1: starty = 1 ' init
  6. anotherDiagonal:
  7. slice$ = MID$(s$, place * 4 - 3, cnt * 4): toggle = 1 - toggle
  8. IF toggle = 0 THEN '  reverse the numbers in slice$
  9.     b$ = ""
  10.     FOR i = 1 TO cnt
  11.         b$ = MID$(slice$, i * 4 - 3, 4) + b$
  12.     NEXT
  13.     slice$ = b$
  14. x = startx: y = starty
  15. FOR i = 1 TO cnt
  16.     LOCATE y + 1, (x - 1) * 4 + 1: PRINT MID$(slice$, i * 4 - 3, 4)
  17.     x = x + 1: y = y - 1
  18. IF starty + 1 > n THEN startx = startx + 1: starty = n ELSE starty = starty + 1: startx = 1
  19. IF startx > n THEN SLEEP: END
  20. place = place + cnt
  21. IF cnt + dc > n THEN cnt = cnt - 1: dc = -1 ELSE cnt = cnt + dc
  22. GOTO anotherDiagonal
  23.  
  24.

The simple solution, as I mentioned above -- represented here, graphically:

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. SCREEN _NEWIMAGE(640, 480, 32)
  2. MinX = 0: MaxX = _WIDTH
  3. MinY = 0: MaxY = _HEIGHT
  4. PSET (0, 0), Yellow
  5.     'go right
  6.     IF X < MaxX THEN X = X + 1 ELSE Y = Y + 1 'move right or down
  7.     IF Y > MaxY THEN EXIT DO
  8.     PSET (X, Y), Yellow
  9.     'fill diagional down
  10.     DO UNTIL X = MinX OR Y = MaxY
  11.         X = X - 1: Y = Y + 1
  12.         PSET (X, Y), Yellow
  13.     LOOP
  14.     IF Y < MaxY THEN Y = Y + 1 ELSE X = X + 1 'move right or down
  15.     IF X > MaxX THEN EXIT DO
  16.     PSET (X, Y), Yellow
  17.     'fill diagional down
  18.     DO UNTIL X = MaxX OR Y = MinY
  19.         X = X + 1: Y = Y - 1
  20.         PSET (X, Y), Yellow
  21.     LOOP
  22.     _LIMIT 30

And a slower SCREEN 0 version so you can watch each step of the process at work:

Code: QB64: [Select]
  1. MinX = 35: MaxX = 45
  2. MinY = 5: MaxY = 20
  3. COLOR Yellow
  4. x = MinX: y = MinY
  5. PSET0 x, y
  6.     'go right
  7.     IF x < MaxX THEN x = x + 1 ELSE y = y + 1 'move right or down
  8.     IF y > MaxY THEN EXIT DO
  9.     PSET0 x, y
  10.     _DELAY .1
  11.     'fill diagional down
  12.     DO UNTIL x = MinX OR y = MaxY
  13.         x = x - 1: y = y + 1
  14.         PSET0 x, y
  15.         _DELAY .1
  16.     LOOP
  17.     IF y < MaxY THEN y = y + 1 ELSE x = x + 1 'move right or down
  18.     IF x > MaxX THEN EXIT DO
  19.     PSET0 x, y
  20.     _DELAY .1
  21.     'fill diagional down
  22.     DO UNTIL x = MaxX OR y = MinY
  23.         x = x + 1: y = y - 1
  24.         PSET0 x, y
  25.         _DELAY .1
  26.     LOOP
  27.  
  28.  
  29. SUB PSET0 (x, y)
  30.     LOCATE y, x
  31.     PRINT "Û";

Well I guess we could snake from any corner, I was considering from opposite corners both!

@DANILIN I modified your code so:
1. you can do more than n = 5, I've got a test run with 40 x 40
2. you see the snake slither it's way from one corner to the opposite
3. I drew the snake path with thick line and then after a pause drew in the letters.

I see you have all your x, y backwards, that was confusing for a moment. ;-))

You probably won't like all the LOC but you might like the results :)
