Sudoku Game Design Language (SGDL)

1. Sudoku Game Design Language(SGDL) Sijue Tan Rongzheng Yan Yu Shao Yigang Zhang William Chan

2. Sudoku Game & Grid Games

3. Introduction • Overview • Language for Sudoku fans and Programmer • Generate Sudoku games • Or any Grid games • Motivation • To present a language that can define rules of Grid game and generate the game. • To attract people into a logic-reasoning way of thinking • Features • What we can do • What we cannot do

4. Introduction

5. Architecture

6. Tech we used

7. Tech we used • Programming Language perspective • Stack and Grid 30 2048 81

8. Sample • Generate random Sudoku whole solution • Cover some number of the grid

9. Sample Program • Array num; /*global variable declaration*/ • main() /*Entry point of SGDL program*/ • begin • int i; int j;int k; int a; int col; int ran;/*Local declaration*/ • string s; • Array tempt1; • num ~ [|1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9|]; /*Assignment*/ • for (i~1;i<10;i++) • begin • Grid.Cell(1,i) ~ generateNum(1,i); /*Grid object*/ • end • printg(); • print(Grid.Cell(1,1)); • for(j~2;j<10;j++) /*Nested for loops*/ • begin • for (k~1;k<10;k++) • begin

10. Sample Program • if(k=9) /*If condition statement*/ • begin • Grid.Cell(j,9) ~ Grid.Cell(j-1,1); • end • else • begin • Grid.Cell(j,k) ~ Grid.Cell(j-1,k+1); • end • end • end • tempt1 ~ Grid.Row(2); /*row exchange*/ • Grid.Row(2) ~ Grid.Row(4); • Grid.Row(4) ~tempt1; • printg(); /*print out the whole grid*/

11. Developing Process--Tools

12. Developing Process • Test • Different aspects • Operators +-*/ ~ • Functions • Data structures array grid • Sample program • Auto test • Makefile • Test.sh • Problems and Solutions

13. Developing Process

14. What we will do • User input • User interface • Other grid game • Cross word • Non-rectangle grid

15. Lesson Learned • Team cooperation • share ideas • Team schedule • Or any Grid games • O’caml is different but it is fun to study! • Tools for software developing • Google Docs • Google Codes (SVN)

16. Another Attempt • Java AST • Generate java code
