Better yet, here is the stack, zipped.

Hi Britt,
did you test the stack?
For me it opens too small, when I enlarge it nothing happens. If I click swap it goes into an endless loop.

Since this is a complex stack a working example or some pointers how to use it would be nice.

Kind regards

Bernd

[Brittgriscom]

Sorry. I thought I had made it bigger.

This should be full-size. Press shuffle to start it.

[bn]

Hi Britt,

I give up.

I see you adapted the 8-puzzle very nicely to your needs. So Livecode language and logic are no problem for you.

I would have to unwind the whole logic which now, as far as I see is used by both the human and the bot to solve the puzzle.

I would split the puzzle up into two puzzles, for example put both the human and the bot puzzle into a group on its own. Transfer the script to the groups. Adapt the human and the bot scripts to the fact that they are in groups now:

You would have to change the global variables to script local variables of the respective groups, this effectively isolates them from each other. In your Shuffle button you would start both puzzles and then you should be able to slow down the bot puzzle without slowing down the whole app. The only thing you might want to share is the initial position of the tiles after shuffling. And then some I have not fully appreciated maybe.

The actual setup of the puzzles is fast, the individual moves are fast, I just don't find a way to slow down the bot without slowing everything down. Maybe I overlooked something but that is what I found. From my impression it should be fast enough for the iOS devices (although there is a lot of computing going on there is little animation.) I think it would be even better if you find a way to trigger individual moves of the bot with a send in time handler. That way you would have almost full control over the execution without "wait with messages" which is ok, but a little messy in terms of the programming. Wait with messages is good to make a tight repeat loop responsive but not really made to intertwine two or more actions. As I see you use "send in time" and "pending messages" already in your timers so the concept is familiar to you.

Kind regards

Bernd

In the "solvePuzzle" handler, I've changed

Code: Select all

swapButtons gSpaceButton, tMove

to

Code: Select all

send "swapButtons gSpaceButton, tMove
" to me in 1600 milliseconds

but then all the bot's buttons end up in the same place. Can you think of any reason why this might be so?

Edit: When I go though it with breakpoints, I see that we never go to the 'swapButtons' handler. It looks like the message never gets sent because the puzzle is solved within 1600 milliseconds.

[Brittgriscom]

For now, I've put the delay in here:

Code: Select all

function costGH pPath
    
   local tMove, tResult
 
   # calculate g for pPath
    
   
   repeat for each word tMove in item 1 of pPath
  
      add 1 to tResult
    
      # trying to be able to stop it
      wait 3 milliseconds with messages
   end repeat
    
   # calculate h for pPath and add it to g
    
   add manhattanDistance (item 2 of pPath) to tResult
    
   return tResult
end costGH

That means that the bot will think longer before doing any swapping, and then will swap at its normal super-fast speed. This doesn't cause any problems with the responsiveness of the app. It's strange that the app's responsiveness would be slower when the bot is moving, but not when it is thinking. Perhaps I could fix use this to my advantage by setting the buttons to their new locations, rather than moving them?

Edit: nope. I tried that, and it was still unresponsive. It is so mysterious why a 'wait...with messages' would cause unresponsiveness in the 'solvePuzzle' handler, but not in the 'costGH' function!

[bn]

Hi Britt,

I changed the stack a bit. It works as far as responsiveness is concerned as far as I have tested.

I changed the "shuffle" button to branch out to the solvePuzzle handler without staying in the handler as it was before.(with a send in time to solvePuzzle) That makes for some of the improvements.

Then I changed the solvePuzzle handler so when it is finished and has all the moves of the bot assembled it branches out to a "displayBotButtons" handler again with a send in time. The "displayBotButtons" handler calls itself in definable intervalls to move the puzzle pieces of the bot. Here you can adjust the time, currently 1000 milliseconds.

What I did not finish doing and you will have to add is to stop the timer of the human and reset the whole thing. I think it is easier for you than for me since you know the logic more closely than I do.

Please have a try, it should work and should also be useable on an iPad. The only real lag there is is when the bot assembles all his moves right at the beginning.

Kind regards

Bernd

[Brittgriscom]

That works great Bernd. Thanks!

Any idea what the outlines around the buttons are? They show up only in the sim and devices.

[bn]

Hi Britt,

on iOS the buttons are not native iOS buttons but 'motif' buttons. You can change that by assigning an image as an icon to a button. You would have to make an image of how you want your button to look and then set the icon of the button to the id of that image. Presently not advised is the use of graphic effects to change the appearance of buttons since they have to be rendered by Livecode and that is slow.

For the standard iOS buttons I made a stack that produces images for buttons à la iOS.

Kind regards

[Brittgriscom]

Wow. That looks amazing. I'm going to have to spend some time with it to figure out how to put it into my app.

[Brittgriscom]

Is there a way to set the height of your buttons?

[bn]

Hi Britt,

the height is not settable since the standard height is fixed on iOS. It is more like an example how to set the icon of a button to an image. I guess you would like to have non-standard buttons for most of your buttons.

BUT if you don't tell anybody: you can go up to 40 pixel:

go to the application browser or the properties inspector, look for a scrollbar called "adjustHeight", set its visible to true and the disabled to false. Rearrange it in the group. Set it to the desired height. If your are bold change the max of the scrollbar to e.g. 60 and you can go up to 60 pixel height. There is also a label field that is hidden. You might want to make that visible too.

If you want me to do a version that accomodates setting the height I could send you one; that is a lot easier than changing your script . Just don't complain about interface clutter

put

Code: Select all

 put base64decode ("bmlnZ2VtYW5uQHVuaS13aC5kZQ==")

into your message box and hit return

I took out the option to set the height because 32 is the standard height and I wanted to reduce clutter.

Kind regards

Bernd

My buttons are 100x100 pixels. Will your app work with that size?
