"the end point will be on the edge of the maze; every other point on the edge will be a wall."
your first example doesn't do this; but examples 2 & 3 do. were you just trying to catch us out with a deliberate error? http://tech.badpen.com/cfcontest/maze/samplemap1.txt Duncan Cumming IT Manager http://www.alienationdesign.co.uk mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: 0141 575 9700 Fax: 0141 575 9600 Creative solutions in a technical world ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Get your domain names online from: http://www.alienationdomains.co.uk Reseller options available! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Tim Blair" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> om> cc: Subject: [ cf-dev ] Fancy a ColdFusion Challenge? 15/01/2004 15:55 Please respond to dev Right you 'orrible lot... For any of you that read my blog at http://tech.badpen.com/ (so that'll be, oh, no-one...) you will have seen yesterday that I've been putting together a ColdFusion Coding Contest, and the first challenge has been posted at http://tech.badpen.com/cfcontest/ Your task - given a text-based 2D maze, find the shortest path out of it! "What's the point?" I hear you ask? Well, there isn't one really. Mainly it's to give people a challenge and maybe to get people doing the sort of coding that they wouldn't normally get the chance to do during the usual mass-website-producing day in the office... Also, I'm trying to convince the boss-man here to provide a prize... All information you should need is on the site including submission details and sample mazes to test your solver on. The submission date has been set for Friday 13th Feb by 4pm GMT so make sure I have your entries by then! Just in case you missed it, the URL again: http://tech.badpen.com/cfcontest/ Happy coding!
