Showing stuff on screen in LC is always surprisingly code intensive, So text
only approaches probably win here. Here's a C code that I transcribed into LC,
because I'm lazy and everyone knows that c is the laziest language of them all
;)
Also I'm amused by all the old geezer complaining that the challenge is not
worth much, and therefore no one should try to do it xD
on mouseUp
put "" into field 1
doTheTower 6,"pole 1", "pole 2", "pole 3"
end mouseUp
on doTheTower thePiece, p1, p2, p3
if thePiece > 1 then doTheTower thePiece-1, p1, p3, p2
put "move piece" && thePiece && "from" && p1 && "to" && p2 & return after
field 1
if thePiece > 1 then doTheTower thePiece-1, p3, p2, p1
end doTheTower
Note that this is an artificially shortened version, which actually looks like
this:
on doTheTower thePiece, p1, p2, p3
if thePiece = 1 then
put "move piece " && thePiece && "from" && p1 && "to" && p2 & return
after field 1
else
doTheTower thePiece-1, p1, p3, p2
put "move piece " && thePiece && "from" && p1 && "to" && p2 & return
after field 1
doTheTower thePiece-1, p3, p2, p1
end if
end doTheTower
