hi there
i need some help for coding sudoku game ...
umm ...
i wrote a pseudcode but i need need to implement it , but i dont know how coz am doin c++ for the first time and ma teacher is not helpin!!??:S
anyway i will post my pseudcode here and hopfully some one will help me

not numbered methods ...a-z class..1-3 steps

a

****note teacher told me i can use for loop to minmise this but i dont know how????****also the code coz like this for the column b,s,d,e,f,g,h,i but it changes in the checking of 3x3 box and so on******
3 Note “ the variable go to the firstGame if there is no space filled othere wise it takes it to secGame.
“ also , put number in the cell means it takes him to chart and it send valid = true to movZ”
4 end loops
5 end this method
noYes
1 get the input from saver
2 if saver input = no || saver input = No
Do not save the game
3 else if saver input = yes || saver input = Yes
Save the input
4 else while
Saver input is != yes || != no || != No || != Yo
Send an error message
And get the input again
5 end loop
6 end noYes method

c
timeLimitt
1 get the time limit from timLim
2 get the time calculated
2 if the time limit = calculated time is true
Send true to endGame
3 end timLimitt method
clcTime
1 get the variables from timeLimitt and movZ
2 if time limit = true
start calculating the time
3 send the time calculated to the timelimit, tim10
4 if valid move = true
Time send to dispLay
5 end clcTime method
tim10
1 get calculated time
2 get number of moves from movZ
3 each 10 second, check if there is any move or backtracks eg. “10 sec, moves=2, 10 sec backtracks=0
4 send after each 10 sec the move data to table1 and the backtracks moves to table2
5 end tim10 method
avergTim
1 get the time taking from clcTime method
2 get number of moves and backtrack from moveZ
3 calculate the average time for a move = A(average equation
4 send A to dispLay
5 get A and put it in rage so the qulity of the player can be identify
6 send it to dispLay
7 end avergTim method
movZ
1 get valid input from numChecho
2 get U move from secGame
3 each valid input = 1 move.
4 each U = backtrack
5 send move to dispLay, avergTim and tim10
6 end movZ method
table1
1 get table vales from tim10
2 set values in a table
3 display the table
4 end table1 method

table2
1 get table vales from tim10
2 set values in a table
3 display the table
4 end table2 method
***************note tables are not important for coding but they were essintial in designing***************8

d
Start
1 get the file name
2 set the file name = the game name
3 end start method

Chart
1 set the chart
012345678910
abc def ghi
. . . | . . . | . . . 1 0
. . . | . . . | . . . 2 1
. . . | . . . | . . . 3 2

----+----+---- 7
. . . | . . . | . . . 7 8
. . . | . . . | . . . 8 9
. . . | . . . | . . . 9 10
2 set the chart pointer and the memory in the pointer
*chart[column][row] = where *chart[9][9]
Note” I didn’t count the line <|> between each 3 column and 3 rows<-,+>]
3 run random 28 numbers in different cell
4 if random number exists in the same column || row generate the number again.
5 if not display the chart
6 get the number and the cell id from the other methods
7 save number in the chart as the player/user identify it.
8 display chart with the number that has been set
9 if space available in the chart
Get new input
10 if !=space
Send true to endGame
11 end chart method
dispLay
1 get time taken from calcTimeto to make the move, number of moves and number of backtracks from movZ.
2 display time taken to make the move
3 display number of moves and backtrack
4 get table1 and table2, and average time with the player quality
5 if game ends
display table1 and table2
display average time with the player quality
6 end dispLay method
endGame
1 get time limit && space in the chart
2 if time limit = true || space in the chart != false
End the game
3 end endgame method
1Game
1 get firstGame method variables
2 save the variables in the chart.
3 when undo reaches here
stop undo
and clear first game variables
get first game input again
4 end method



thnx for reading anyway

hi there
i just wanna add when u c ... somethin like array[9][9]
i mean the box ...but it should be [10][10]

hm... Something tells me that this post isn't going to get alot of responses. The reason being that this is a large project, and noone is going to spend the time to write an entire program like this from scratch. If you do want help from some of us here on the forum (which we would like to help you), you wil have to do more that provide pseudocode. You will need to make a valient effort at doing this assignment, and then asking specific questions about specific areas of your code.

Now that it looks like you've broken the program down into managable parts, implement one part at a time and thoroughly test it before moving on to the next part. Let us know when you get stuck, but make sure to post the problem code... specific questions... and intended results, actual results, etc.

Thanks,
Trey

I agree............ think very logically about ur task at hand 3shtar. do you own coding atleast before we can help u.
