Greetings, I designed in JavaScript a small program on my website called 5 queens. (http://www.cf29.com/design/dame5_eng.php)
The goal is to control all the chess board with five queens that do not attack each other. I found "manually" many solutions to this problem (184 until now) and wanted to create a Python script to find them all. As I am new to Python, I struggle a lot. I found a way to create: - a board where each square is defined by its row, column and if it is controlled or not - a function that tells which squares are controlled by a queen on a particular square - a function that counts how many squares are controlled - a function that can reset all squares control to 0 - a function that can place 5 queens safely on the board - I can find the first solution and register it in a list My problem starts now. How can I find the next solution and append it to the list? Has anyone tried to do a such script? If anyone is interested to help I can show what I've done so far. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
