KiXgolf: Shuttle Puzzle - Private Round

=============
The Challenge
=============


The Shuttle Puzzle is a puzzle consisting of a strip of wood with nine holes. Placed on opposite ends of the strip were marbles of the same color, the center hole was left empty. The object of the puzzle was to reverse the marbles using one of two permissible moves. A marble could slide forward into an empty space, or a marble could jump another marble of the opposite color providing the new location was empty and the jump was in a forward direction. Invariably after making four or five moves one would arrive at a dead end, most often with a marble trapped on one end surrounded by a
sea of marbles of the opposite color.

Therefore, we will put our computers to work and come up with a solution for such puzzles.

A download is available at http://s91376351.onlinehome.us/kixtart/kixgolf_shuttle.zip


=============
Specification
=============


The SHUTTLE PUZZLE of size 3 consists of 3 white marbles, 3 black marbles, and a strip of wood with 7 holes. The marbles of the same color are placed
in the holes at the opposite ends of the strip, leaving the center hole empty. White marbles are always start out on the left side and black marbles always start out on the right side

INITIAL STATE: WWW BBB

GOAL STATE: BBB WWW

To solve the shuttle puzzle use only two types of moves. Move 1 marble 1 space (into the empty hole) or jump 1 marble over 1 marble of the opposite color (into the empty hole). You may not back up, and you may not jump over 2 marbles.

A Shuttle Puzzle of size N consists of N white marbles and N black marbles and 2N+1 holes.

Write an algorithm that will solve the SHUTTLE PUZZLE for any size 1<=N<=10. Your algorithm will be tested with the solution for N=(1,2,3,4)

Please note that if you come up with a solution that differs from the provided ones, please submit it to the KiXtart BBS so that it can be included in the test cases and it has been reviewed for validity. The validation script is written such that it can accomodate multiple solutions for the same n. however, as far as I know for 1<=n<=4 there are only unique solutions.

=============
Inputs & Outputs
=============


The input into the SHUTTLE PUZZLE UDF will be an integer with values between 1 and 10, inclusive.

The output should be an array of marble positions starting with the starting layout, all interim steps and ending with the final layout.

For n=1, the output array would therefore look like
Code:

dim $sp[3]

$sp[0]='W B'
$sp[1]='WB '
$sp[2]=' BW'
$sp[3]='B W'



=======
Scoring
=======


All provided test cases must be correctly solved in order to have the KiXgolf score count. If a script fails any valid public or non-public test case the KiXgolf score will not count. Non-public test cases will be published after the end of the tournament.

============
Bonus Points
============

The first person to post the solution for n=10 created via a KiXtart script will be awared one bonus point, added to his final KiXgolf Score.

=============
General rules
=============


  • The UDF must be written as one or more lines.
  • The UDF is expected to finish in a reasonable time, e.g. if it gets started when the challenge opens, it's expected to be finished by the time the challenge closes even on a somewhat slow computer. The UDF has to be valid during the period that the challenge runs.
  • You can submit scores as often as you want until the deadline, there's no reason to wait until the last minute for a score submission. In fact, other people want to see the score to beat. So don't be a spoilsport by hoarding your score. Submit early and often.
  • The UDF may only use the KiXtart/KiXforms commands/functions/macros, no other code fragments are allowed. Calls to COM components that are part of a standard default Windows installation are allowed.
  • Calls to other executables, as long as they are part of a standard default Windows installation are allowed.
  • The use of the KiXforms DLL is also permitted as the KiXforms DLL can now be considered an integral part of KiXtart scripting.
  • The UDF should be self-contained (except for any I/O mentioned in the challenge). In particular, you may not do things like fetching extra data from a remote site or file.
  • You may assume ASCII as character set.
  • You may not use block comments as the KiXgolf Scoring Engine does not support block comments
  • You are not allowed to use additional code that is external to the KiXgolf UDF Collection. All code must be contained within the KiXgolf UDF Collection.
  • You are allowed to only use publicly available versions of KiXtart and KiXforms, private builds or alpha builds are NOT allowed
  • Your submitted score must include the KiXart/KiXforms version used.
  • All variables must be properly declared as SETOPTION('Explicit','ON') has been coded into the main script
  • Other script-wide restrictions, e.g. NoVarsInStrings=ON, are not in effect
  • The KiXgolf UDF Collection as enclosed by the ';!' and ';!;!' tags can be modified to e.g. rename the parameter variables, add additional optional parameters or add additional sub-UDFs.
  • Maximum runtime for the code solution is one hour
  • Tokenizing the UDF, script, or portions thereof is not allowed

When posting KiXtart Golf Scores, please include the KIXGOLF_*.TXT file that is created in the script directory. It contains some basic information about the computer that the script is run on and the resulting scores.

============
Test program
============


A test program is provided to help screen entries and to provide the Golf Score.
Any program that passes the test program can be submitted. If you are surprised that your solution passed the test program, please submit it anyway! That will help me identify bugs in the test program.

================================================================
KiXtart GOLF - How To Play
================================================================


Most importantly, anybody can play, no age restrictions, no penalties, no handicap!

The object in "real" golf is to hit the ball in the hole in the fewest strokes. The object in KiXtart Golf is to get from input (tee) to target (hole) in the fewest keystrokes.

Example: How many positive elements are in array $a?

Array $a could be of structure $a=[1, 2 ,-3, 4, -5, -7, 8, 9]

One approach:
Code:

for $b=0 to ubound($a)
if $a[$b]>0
$c=$c+1
endif
next


for a score of 45.

Another solution is:
Code:

DO
$b=$b+1
if $a[$b]>0
$c=$c+1
endif
UNTIL $b>(UBOUND($a)+1)


for a score of 53.

Better approach: Code sample 1

================================================================
KiXtart GOLF - The Rules
================================================================


1) The goal of KiXtart Golf is to score the lowest strokes.
2) Strokes are all characters in a piece of code except whitespace characters, unless the whitespace character is necessary for the line of code to work. Therefore, carriage returns and line feeds do not count or spaces in between the '=' sign when assigning variables, e.g. '$a = $b' scores 5.
3) Code can be constructed any way you like, as long as it is syntactically correct with KiXtart, i.e. the KiXgolf engine does not throw a syntax or other error.
4) The final solution MUST pass all test scripts that accompagny the KiXtart golf challenge.
5) The use of '$' as a variable is allowed.
6) In case of questions about a particular way to count the KiXtart Golf Challenge organizer has the last call.
7) During the private coding phase, no code is allowed to be posted. Violations result in disqualification of said player.
8) During the public coding phase, code should be posted, reused, and borrowed from other players.
9) The test script contains the official KiXgolf scoring engine
10) Only the person posting a particular score will be recognized for the score, unless the KiXtart Golf Challenge organizer or another delegate posts code on behalf of a player

You will need the complete package from http://s91376351.onlinehome.us/kixtart/kixgolf_shuttle.zip.

Re: KiXgolf: Shuttle Puzzle - Private Round

Package has been updated to include a second solution for n=1. When you download the package you only need to replace the file kixgolf_shuttle.ini as this file contains the valid solutions. The checking program should now automatically evaluate both solutions and pass if your UDF produces one of the two.

instead of:
$sKiXGolfScrEngVer = '3.2'

Re: KiXgolf: Shuttle Puzzle - Private Round

once more about the rules.
I didn't joke when I said they were wrong and they needed an update.

"Other script-wide restrictions, e.g. NoVarsInStrings=ON, are not in effect"

this is not true as the novarsinstrings and all alike have been on for ages.

Re: KiXgolf: Shuttle Puzzle - Private Round

ok, I have working code.
but jens your code says the solution is wrong.
added my own output routine to the udf end to see it.
score with it is 1320.

as example, with the first test my UDF outputs:
B W->BW -> WB->W B

and still your tester says 0% right.

could you please fix the tester so I can clame the bonus points?!?!?!

Re: KiXgolf: Shuttle Puzzle - Private Round

Jooel:

The challenge description specifies that white marbles always start out on the left:
Quote:

White marbles are always start out on the left side and black marbles always start out on the right side


You work the other way, thus the n=10 does not yet qualify.
I'm working on the reverse solutions so that you can either start with a white or black marble. I'll post them once I'm done.

Re: KiXgolf: Shuttle Puzzle - Private Round

jens, yep, didn't bother changing it.
8 and 9 are also wrong on the board.
but the code outputs them fine, after I turned the letters around.

if you look at my last output, it's correct. so why bother changing the rules???

Re: KiXgolf: Shuttle Puzzle - Private Round

I've updated the package at http://s91376351.onlinehome.us/kixtart/kixgolf_shuttle.zip to now include tests/solutions for n=1-10 instead of n=1-4. I'm also prviding both solutions, i.e independent of whether you start with a white or black marble. Would appreciate it if somebody can run the new kixgolf_shuttle.INI file with the new tests. I hope I have no typos... in the tests.

Re: KiXgolf: Shuttle Puzzle - Private Round

jens...
looking at the solutions, you could have written just one and test them both ways.
starting from index0 and ubound.

btw, now your tester throws the darn messagebox() all the time.
also, like I have always critisized, you should add to the code, which one of the tests fail.
I hate needing to add it everytime myself...

Code:

Shuttle Puzzle passed 9 of 10 tests (90% correct)

KiXtart
KiXtart Version = 4.53 Release Candidate 1
KiXforms Version =
KiXGolf Script = kixgolf_shuttle.kix

Computer
OS = Windows XP Professional
CPU = Intel Pentium Model 13
Speed = 1866 MHz
Memory = 760 MB

KiXGolf Scoring Engine
Scoring Engine = 3.3

KiXtart Golf Score
Tournament = KiXtart Golf: Shuttle Puzzle
Processing Start = 2006/09/11 10:44:07.671
Processing End = 2006/09/11 10:45:07.281
Duration = 0000/00/00 00:00:59.610
KiXGolf Score = 465



and here is the not matching tenth test (my results left, your test array right)
Code:

65 BWBWBWBWBWBWBWBWBWBW BWBWBWBWBWBWBWBWBWBW

65



the empty space on line 65 denotes that there is something wrong with it.
as you can see, they both have same text, so the issue is somewhere else.

[edit]
shortened the lengthy output of my tester.

Jens, your solution N=10, score1 is missing a space at colum 1461, score2 is missing a space at colum 1221.

Also, It tells me that I should post my solution because I seem to have found a different solution, but my solution is, as far as I can see, exactly the same as score1.

Posted a new testing script and .INI file at http://s91376351.onlinehome.us/kixtart/kixgolf_shuttle.zip
1) Hopefully fixed the missing space characters for the n=10 test
2) Removed the incorrectly triggering MESSAGEBOX() code
3) Added a new output line indicating which specific test failed

Looks like you guys are having fun with it.

Re: KiXgolf: Shuttle Puzzle - Private Round

you can reuse it, even rename it in the parameter line and use it for something else.
Code:
Function S($Anothername)

$ = substr($anothername,1,1)

$s = $ + $ + $

End Function

anything that is not denied explicitly is considered accepted.
looking at the rules, you can do what ever with the UDF, even add sub udf's as long as the communication with the calling script works and it doesn't crash and the results are correct.

1 Maciep ......... 293
2 DrillSergeant .. 360
3 Jooel .......... 360
4 RemcovC ........ 518

I find this Kixgolf very interesting, but unfortunately its still a little bit beyond my scripting capabilities. So i wondered, if there are others who would like to participate in such a game but can't:

How about a, lets say: KIX-minigolf for starters and average scripters?

Re: KiXgolf: Shuttle Puzzle - Private Round

drill, the bonus point doesn't work like that.
it's a point for the yearly championship. just like in GP2 the fastest lap gets championship points.
points are given for private round winners and public round winners and then the bonus.
these are calculated together to get tournament standings and tournaments together to get yearly standings.

I was just reading the thread over, and if the rules about: "Other script-wide restrictions, e.g. NoVarsInStrings=ON, are not in effect" was still in effect it would shave of another 4 strokes of my code.
