Game of Life - Python 3.4 & tkinter (Python)

2014-09-05T15:02:11-07:00

Python recipe 578928 by Peter M (python3, tkinter).

I took this well-know game to design my own solution, and make a GUI for it.

To run the program, you will need to create a txt file with rows of dots, so like this:

...... ...... ...... ......

and name it empty_board.gol (I have tested this program withwith 55x55)

It is functional and not object oriented.

My game of life algorithm is probably not the best one around (suggestions welcome), but I think this program is a nice demo of with tkinter can do and how easy it is to program GUI's with tkinter.

It has been written and tested in python 3.4 but I guess any version 3 should work, and probably only minor changes are needed to make it work in 2.6 or 2.7 (e.g. change tkinter to Tkinter).

Shortest Common Supersequence algorithms (Python)

2013-10-02T12:52:23-07:00

Python recipe 578678 by Rutger Saalmink (approximation, bound, breadth_first_search, common, depth_first_search, sequence, shortest, super).

The Shortest Common Supersequence (SCS) problem is an NP-hard problem (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_common_supersequence), which occurs in problems originating from various domains, e.g. Bio Genetics. Given a set of strings, the common supersequence of minimal length is sought after. Below a set of algorithms is given, which I used in approximating and/or backtracking the optimal solution(s).

Finding sets in the card game SET! (Python)

2013-04-05T12:49:36-07:00

Python recipe 578508 by Sander Evers (algorithm, optimization, search, setgame). Revision 2.

In the card game SET!, players are shown an array of 12 (or more) symbol cards and try to identify a so-called 3-card set among these cards as quickly as possible.

A card has four attributes (number, shape, color and shading), each of which can take 3 possible values. In a set, for each attribute, all three cards should have either the same value, or the three different values.

This recipe solves the problem of finding all sets within an array of an arbitrary number of cards, showing some clever optimizations and celebrating the clarity of Python in expressing the algorithms.
