For source code, links and some information.
Logic Mazes refer to a broad type of mazes, which can be represented as a
two dimensional finite grid, and are actually quite challenging to play
interactively without the help of a solver (such as lm-solve - ;-)).
lm-solve is written in OO perl 5 and yet can solve several types of them
very quickly, even while using BFS. I'd still like to release it for
experimenting, and gaining insights and experience about programming.
This is just an announcement made to this list. Now here's a question: can
I designate this list as the offical list for discussing lm-solve too? Our
definition at present is:
<<<
This group is dedicated to the discussion of the usage and development of
the Freecell Solver program and library.
The Freecell Solver homepage is:
http://vipe.technion.ac.il/~shlomif/freecell-solver/
General discussion of computerized techniques to solve Card Solitaire
games is also welcome.
>>>
lm-solve has nothing to do with card games, but is clearly a game AI
program. Do you agree to expanding the focus of this mailing list to cover
non-card games too? My problem with the other alternative (opening a
dedicated mailing list for lm-solve) is that I'm juggling between too many
mailing lists as it is. But enough people say that discussing how to solve
Logic mazes AIishly is unwanted for them in this mailing list, then I
guess I'll have to do so.
In any case, speak now, or forever hold your peace.
Regards,

BTW, I decided to call it lm-solve instead of Logic Mazes Solver
to avoid the Freshmeat Effect, which causes the query "freecell solver"
in Google to point almost exclusively to FCS sites. And besides, you get
extra credit for having a good name. lm-solve is not a superb name but it
does the trick.

He who re-invents the wheel, understands much better how a wheel works.
