Talking towers of hanoi - 05-07-2010, 02:02 PM

he towers of hanoi was a ancient story of 3 towers and 64 rings in beginning all 64 disk are on one tower. the goal is to move all disk to one of the other towers, using the third tower as a spare. there are two strict rules
1. only one disk may be moved at a time
2. a larger disk may never be placed on top of a smaller disk

type in towers of hanoi game in google and play then play this alice program and watch it solve the puzzle
this puzzle only has 20 disk but still takes forever to complete
it took me about 15 minutes to make i might not update it it was just for fun and wanted to share
i know i can make it alot better (time ending at end of program and not keep running) but see what you think

Wow that's pretty impressive!
It does 13 moves per second on my computer and I don't think you could get it much faster in Alice. 20 rings are much enough for a sandalone program, you could try it with lesser rings.


Here's the newest version, The Terrain Builder v2.1.1:

LOL! mine did 15 while running a bunch of other aplicaations. My rig does have 4 gigs of ram though and a dual core 2.2 ghz processor(not a great processor but for a laptop it is decent). I think it is a great program and great way to show how fast alice can process things.

I remember doing this in a recursion assignment.

Also, it doesn't matter how many cores you have since I'm pretty sure that Alice doesn't multi-thread anything.

Ye of course you could get it faster on different comupters, but I getting it faster on the same computer by changing the code in Alice is worse.

Ye you're right. Alice takes 50% of my comp's processor power. That means 100% of one of my two processors.

It does not have 1.5 terabytes memory. It might have 1.5 terabytes disk space, but definitly not memory. Most computers now a days have 4GB memory, but 8 is not uncommon either.

And I hate to burst your bubble, jedi, but the amount of disc space you have doesn't equate to your computer's power. I could hook up an external hard drive to a crappy computer and say that I have tons of disc space, but that doesn't make the computer any faster or more powerful. Just letting you know so that you don't get in trouble with a forum that may not be as forgiving!
