Author Topic: Gapper Playable to level 5 (Read 4826 times)

Cobalt · « **on:** November 14, 2021, 10:14:55 pm »

ok so its like super easy right now as the seeker speed doesn't scale yet. and I say up to level 5 because for some reason it wont complete all the boxes at that level.

@bplus any idea why BoxSurrounded stops working on that level?

Arrow Keys move your icon which starts in the top left corner, dont get caught by the seeker who starts in the bottom right corner.
ESC quits.

Code: QB64: [Select]

@bplus any idea why BoxSurrounded stops working on that level?

The first set of code I posted in the other thread was flawed, not just the typo but several things needed fixing that the typo covered up. So if you are using that,... well should have problems on all levels.

My codes calculated cellWidth and CellHeight from cellsAcross and cellsDown not merely assigned as you have it here. And from those numbers the grid was based and drawn. I didn't worry about x margin and y margins because grids of different sizes fitting in same space left different margins after rounding to integer values and then multiplying by cellsAcross or cellsDown. I took the CellWidth = int(_Width/cellsAcross) -1 to be sure all the bars of grid were visible on screen, likewise similar calc for CellHeight.

So perhaps you miscalc'd on the level with a problem.

You could save allot of lines of code:

I made the adjustment to the code when you posted that. But I will go over it again and make sure I didn't miss something (not that that would ever happen[heavy sarcasm!])

I took the CellWidth = int(_Width/cellsAcross) -1 to be sure all the bars of grid were visible on screen, likewise similar calc for CellHeight.

So perhaps you miscalc'd on the level with a problem.

Its all pretty straight forward in terms of numbers. the Columns and Rows max out at 8x7 at level 5 and keep that till level 8. Its just the shape that changes with levels 5,6, and 7.

Quote from: bplus on November 15, 2021, 12:01:43 am

You could save allot of lines of code:

True, that was just a quick and dirty way to get them all roughed out, and a single sub for levels 1 to 4 +8 would be best. however Levels 5,6 and 7 are not "square". the layout is shaped differently, as a "T", "+", and upside down "T" (attachment below)

Your mod of my code isn't even using the part that saves you all that redundant box checking by using an array to store boxes already checked! the BoxesSurrounded array:

Actually it does, but I already had an array I was trying to use so I just popped in my array name. which was "FinishedBox". So it still makes sure the box isn't done just with a different name. And only because I already had an array for it. (as the second comment down notes)

 ELSE
  BoxSurrounded = -1
 END IF
 _SOURCE Layer(6)
END FUNCTION
 

Though with the problem on level 5, I attached what it is doing. it simply stops acknowledging surrounded boxes near the bottom of the board. Now this board is "T" shaped, but I just assumed the function would treat it as if all the board was there. Thats why G.Needed(which denotes the number of boxes on screen to finish a board) is set to 44 and not 56(8*7). But it stops filling boxes at 38.

bplus · « **Reply #3 on:** November 15, 2021, 12:27:08 pm »

Ah different shaped grids!! I missed that.

So the box number system would need to pretend the missing boxes (from a fully gridded rectangle) are there as the row and column the box is in is determined by numbers.

Wow tracking where you are able to go with hero and chaser would get hairy. For boxes enclosed you can't mark the pretend boxes as enclosed and you better not try and check them from boxes enclosed array that tracks boxes checked.

Well different shaped grids with missing chunks from full rectangle was not a mod I anticipated with my code.

I think I've figured out what I did.

Code: QB64: [Select]

 FOR i%% = 1 TO G.Needed
  IF BoxSurrounded(i%%) THEN FinishedBox(i%%) = TRUE
  IF FinishedBox(i%%) THEN FillBox i%%
 NEXT i%%
 

I'm pretty sure that was telling it to stop checking for boxes after what was needed for the level, where as BoxSurrounded was looking at all 56 possible boxes. I forgot about the "invisible" boxes counting. and if you add the boxes on the sides of the level 5 board that you cant see into the 38 you come up with 44. upon which the FOR:NEXT stopped checking.

Code: QB64: [Select]

 FOR i%% = 1 TO G.Columns * G.Rows
  IF BoxSurrounded(i%%) THEN FinishedBox(i%%) = TRUE
  IF FinishedBox(i%%) THEN FillBox i%%
 NEXT i%%
 

This seems to have fixed it. So now its checking the entire grid space. even though it will not all be used.
Wonder what it would take to do diagonal lines? Not that the original game had those, but might make an interesting addition.

well now to clean the code up some.

Glad you have it figured out, your mods are extending beyond the original assumptions I had for BoxEnclosed function. Not sure if those boxes not being used should be premarked as enclosed or not? Maybe so or definitely not. If you want to avoid even more pixel checking you could check if adjacent boxes are enclosed ie a box has boxes enclosed on all of it's 4 sides would itself have to be enclosed without checking a single pixel.

Diagonals, ha! how about every pixel? ;-))
