Jump to nearest empty? - dale walton - 08-07-2020
How is move to the nearest occupied space done? Step / variable length Hop over occupied sites to the first Empty...
I tried
(move Slide
(between if
not (is In (between) (sites Empty)) ))(to if
is Empty atto)))
But this also allowed moves to the occupied intermediate positions.
I tried
(move Hop
(between
(range 0 9)
if
not (is In (between) (sites Empty)) ))
(to if
is Empty atto)))
But this didn't work at all (maybe the board was too small?).
Leaving the range out only allowed single hops.

In the current version you can do
Code:
(....
(equipment {
(board ...)
(piece "Disc" Each (move (from) (to (sites LineOfSight Piece at:(from)))))
})
(rules
(play (forEach Piece))
(end (if ....) )
)

Sorry for my typo. I meant I want to move not to the nearest occupied space, but to the nearest unoccupied space ... My bad.
RE: Jump to nearest empty? - Eric Piette - 08-11-2020
Ok so just to be sure before to answer, if we look a single line with
P O1 O2 O3 U1 U2 U3 O4 U5
where P is your piece, O are the occupied spaces (by friend or enemy pieces), U the unoccupied space.
you want P to move to the nearest unoccupied space, so you just want to hop O1 O2 O3 and go to U1? or not?

Correct.
And on a ray with the adjacent space unoccupied, it should go adjacent.
And If a ray has no unoccupied space, it cannot move there.

Thanks to your question I found a bug in our hop move and fixed it, so thank you ;)
The description for what you describe (for example for a board of size 16 and for a piece which is here a ball) is
Code:
(piece "Ball" Each
(move Hop
(between
(range 0 16)
if:(not (is Empty (between)))
)
(to if:(is Empty (to)))
)
)
(rules
...
(play (forEach Piece))
...
)But that will work correctly only when we will release the next version.

Eric
