X-PLOD3

XPLOD3 logo

Here's the code for a new game That I've created! It's called X-PLOD3 (pronounced as explode)... The idea of the game sprouted when I and my brother along with our friends Stephen and Ephraim sat down. Earlier in the day, Ephraim played my Hand Cricket game and got surprisingly hooked to it :). It was really motivational to see someone like my game! After a while, he (Ephraim) came up to me and asked if I had any other games other than the 2 (both which I have blogged). I said no but, I also mentioned that If he had any idea then I'd make it into one. He said let's do something new and we started spitting out ideas and as a result of that mindless mixture of ideas this game took its shape. Well, enough said. Now about the game.

The game's rules are simple.
  1. At each turn, 5 missiles randomly head towards the Earth, each randomly in any of the three 120 degree sectors  (left sector, middle sector and the right sector).
  2. At each turn, you have 5 missiles to allocate in the three sectors.
  3. You have 1000 defences... if you assign less number than the approaching missiles in the particular sector then you are hit and lose 50 defences for each hit. 
  4. there's a not so complex scoring mechanism (score actually here is the number of days survived)
  5. The game ends once you reach 0 defences or below.
Some interesting things I tried....
  • The starting of the game is a Riddle!
  • See the screen shot and see if you can solve it :) (quite simple, let me know via comments)

  • One more thing is that after you assign missiles in the 3 sectors and also the computer finishes assigning the outcome is shown in the form of a diagram of Asterisk!
  • The numbers inside circle indicate your assignments and outer the asteroids approaching.

  • And finally your score would be permanently saved in files and you can see them by accessing HISTORY option in the main menu!
Without further ado here's the code (and as always, if you have any doubts feel free to ask me via comments :) )

How can I play this Awesome (not so :)) game this way:
  • Copy code into your text editor
  • Compile it 
  • Open the exe file and enjoy!

Beginner's guide to Solving the N-Queens problem using backtracking method

-
Image
This post serves as a good introduction to the backtracking method which is used widely in various types of problems to find a possible solution. Here we'll be seeing how to solve the classical N-Queens problem using backtracking method. Backtracking : The Wikipedia page  for Backtracking defines it as "a general algorithm in which, we try to incrementally build candidates to the solutions, and discard a candidate as soon as we get to know that the candidate cannot possibly be completed to a valid solution".  If that sounds complicated and confusing, don't worry! Let us understand it by running through a small example. Consider you are trapped in a haunted house with five rooms named A, B, C, D and E. Initially, you are in room A and you need to reach room E to exit the house. Below is an image of the rooms in the house. The arrows in the image indicate the directions in which you can move. For example, you can move to rooms B and C from A but, you

PvP Chain reaction game using Python

At last, I've taken time and ventured a little deeper into the Python language! I used the  Tkinter   package to develop a rip-off of an android game called chain-reaction . It's a simple multiplayer board game in which the first person to occupy all the blocks on the board or of the opponent(s) wins. Try downloading and playing the game with your friends, it's FUN! Here's a video of the game I've developed(I've set the number of players to 4 and board dimensions are 6*8): Coming to the coding, I actually enjoyed the process of writing code much more in Python compared to any other previous languages that I've used. Maybe it is due to the fact that it's the first high-level language that I got my hands on. I'd never worked with Tkinter package before. It was quite easy to understand and I was able to build the game in roughly in four hours. I think that just a little effort is enough for anyone to understand how to use the  tkinter  packa

What is 'Maximal Subarray Problem'(MSP)? Given an array having both positive and negative numbers, we need to find a continuous part of the array whose elements when added gives the largest possible sum. Here are few examples to help you understand the MSP better: 1. consider the array [-1, 2, -1, 3]     Now, here is a list of all the possible subarrays along with the sum of their elements: ELEMENTS SUM start index end index -1 -1 0 0 -1, 2 1 0 1 -1, 2,-1 0 0 2 -1, 2,-1, 3 3 0 3 2 2 1 1 2,-1 1 1 2 2,-1, 3 4 1 3 -1 -1 2 2 -1, 3 2 2 3 3 3 3 3     From, the above table, its obvious that the answer is [ 2,-1, 3].     All other subarrays sum up to a value that is less than 4. 2. consider the ar
