Okay, I'm game.
Here's a version of the Monty Simulator that plays the game 100 times, and
prints the result for each play, and a final total. Our competitor swaps each
time.
To compare like with like, other programs shou;d exactly replicate the format
of the printed lines.
The program as presented is about 350 bytes I reserve the right to reduce it
to under 250 bytes for a "final version". I am also fairly confident that I
can do a full GUI implementation in under 1K
Rebol []
N: 100
Loop N [
D: random/secure [Red Green Blue]
C: pick D random 3
prin["I pick"D/1]
M: next D
if find M C[alter M C]
prin[". M shows"M/1]
either 1 = length? M [prin [". I swap to"C]]
[prin [". I swap to"M/2]]
prin[". Car was behind" C]
either D/1 = C
[print ". I lose."N: N - 1]
[Print ". I win."]
]
print ["Wins:" N]
Notes on variables:
D - for Doors array
C - colour of door that hides the car
M - for Monty's two doors
N for loop count and wins (using Ryan's ingenious two-for-the-price of one
trick)
Print line format is:
I pick [col]. M shows [col]. I swap to [col]. Car was behind [col]. I
[win/lose].
where [col] = colour name.
last line:
wins: nn
Sunanda.
