3D Puzzle Assignment #1 Programming Language, Spring 2003

3D Puzzle Characteristics –Consist of 4 ⅹ 4 ⅹ 4 frame –Contains 63 small cells of equal size 1 empty position that was the same size as a small cell A unique number of integer was printed on each small cell –Empty position is marked with ‘$’

Making out a Puzzle Puzzle –Solving a puzzle Make the frame display the numbers in order –Operation Small cell can be moved into empty position If it were immediately to the right, to the left, in the front, in the rear, above, or below the empty position

Assignment Objectives –Slide cells into the empty position so that the frame displays the numbers in order Requirements –Input initial puzzle from file –Show current frame status Can slide cell into the empty position –by command line input –by sliding-sequence file Can output complete solution of sliding-sequence into file

Input Convention Command –Sliding operations 1 : The square above the empty position moves 2 : The square below the empty position moves 3 : The square to the left of the empty position moves 4 : The square to the right of the empty position moves 5 : The square in the front of the empty position moves 6 : The square in the rear of the empty position moves

Source Code puzzle.c –Input initial puzzle file Get file name by program argument $>./puzzle puzzle.in –Show current frame status Command line input –Input ‘1~6’ command to slide cell File input –Input ‘1~6’ command from sliding-sequence file –Each line contains maximum 10 command Output complete solution –Output complete sliding-sequence solution into file –puzzle.out

Initial Puzzle puzzle.in –4 ⅹ 4 ⅹ 4 matrix Consist of 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd,and 4 th planes(4 ⅹ 4 matrix) Total 16 lines –Example $ …

Input Command Command Line –Input sliding command –1~6 Input sequence file name –$>in [filename] Output sequence file name –$>out [filename] –Example $>1 $>6 $>in seq.in $>out seq.out $>3

Sliding-Sequence File In File –Contain lines of cell sliding-sequence Each line contains maximum 10 operations –Example …

Output Puzzle Command Line –Current puzzle status Consist of 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd,and 4 th planes(4 ⅹ 4 matrix) Example – | | | – | | | – | | | –13 $ | | |
