Thanks for the nice comments ... no I haven't heard of Nine Morris Men ... how does that work?

I have found this web version but there don't seem to be any rules ....

Once again my reply is delayed (work is very trying these days). Here is some history as well as rules.

Thanks for your patience Carol, I'm slow but steady =)

Hi Carol, very nice to meet you! Please excuse my delayed reply. (My work entails time out of town every now and again, and I usally take no computer along simply to clear my mind).

'Towers of Hanoi'

Sure enough, this puzzle is in the works down the road as well. I really enjoyed the example you posted, most especially the portion with the recursive function. I've at least two games now that employ recursive routines (8 Queens and another entitled PileUp).

And I see that you're a virtual idea machine yourself =) I've read several of your posts and without exception, I find something noteworthy therein. Lots of brain food, many thanks.

Nim

Another great game! Have you ever heard of Nine Men's Morris? I hope to code that little pup as well.

Later on,
Mike

Howdy lanux.

why don't you pm the answer... ;-)

Well, how about a clue instead buddy? Do you enjoy spelling? Don't give up - Crack on!

well, i'm not a coder but i do dabble in scripting & macros due to the nature of my work, which is systems maintenance...

Six in one hand, 1/2 dozen in the next it's all good I'd say =) What I'm trying to convey is that the only real difference here is that; some languages are interpreted while others are compiled. No sweat. Besides the best tool for a given task is the thing no? Why write a program if a batch file comprising only 'dir *.*' worked as well?

btw, if you need ideas take a look here...

Now this site is bursting with ideas! Many thanks lanux, appreciate it.

Later on,
Mike

Hey-hey mouser!

Re: you got any plans for new games/puzzles?

Yeppers, sure enough, putting the final bit of polish on 10+ little peanut apps shown here:

Presently building a menu'd front end for the whole she-bang.

Re: each block would be like an animal...

I like the idea of animals interspersed within a Tetris context, that bears some thought =) 'Cryptozooology' hmm...
