Conway's soldiers - C










1















I am doing an assignment which involves building a C code for Conway's Soldiers. Like this but smaller board https://www.cleverlearning.co.uk/blogs/blogConway.php
The bottom half of the board is filled with pegs or 'X' and the upper part empty or '.'. Pegs can move up, left or right. Would it be correct to check if the pegs can move by calling the below functions:



int can_move_up(int board[ROWS][COLUMNS])

 int i, j;

 for(i=0; i < ROWS; ++i) 
 for (j=0; j < COLUMNS; ++j) 
 if (board[i][j] != PEG) 
 return false;
 
 else if (board[i][j] == PEG && board[i][j-2] == PEG) 
 return true;
 
 
 



int can_move_left(int board[ROWS][COLUMNS])

 int i, j;

 for(i=0; i < ROWS; ++i) 
 for (j=0; j < COLUMNS; ++j) 
 if (board[i][j] != PEG) 
 return false;
 
 else if (board[i][j] == PEG && board[i-2][j] == PEG) 
 return true;
 
 
 


int can_move_right(int board[ROWS][COLUMNS])

 int i, j;

 for(i=0; i < ROWS; ++i) 
 for (j=0; j < COLUMNS; ++j) 
 if (board[i][j] != PEG) 
 return false;
 
 else if (board[i][j] == PEG && board[i+2][j] == PEG) 
 return true;



Any help is much appreciated!

    You should use pointers to your array instead of copying them to the function.

    What are your functions can_move_left etc doing?? They go through the whole board. Shouldn't they be called with a peg position and check if the peg can move?

    @A.R.C. (and whoever gave this an upvote) You should use pointers to your array instead of copying them to the function. Huh? Arrays are never copied to functions. Regardless, whether writing int board[ROWS][COLUMNS] or int (*board)[COLUMS], the C compiler will always do the same - decay arrays in function parameters to pointers.

  • @A.R.C. If in doubt then compare the outcome of int square(int board[N_ROWS][N_COLS]) and int square(int (*board)[N_COLS]) - identical upto the least bit. ;-)
