Very simple program to solve the UnBlock Me game available on Android and Apple

UnBlock Me Solver

Using Udacity Course I implemented a program able to solve the game UnBlockMe. UnBlock Me is a game freely available on android and apple

Usage

• Open unblockme.py
• Change the first line: N = VER = 8 by putting the number of rows and columns of your game.
• Create your puzzle using grid() function (see example at the end of the code)
• Print the solution using print(solve_parking_puzzle(yourPuzzleDefinition))

More information

• @ represent the exit
• * represent your block (red block in UnBlock Me)
• letter represent block that keeps you from reaching the exit

To create a horizontal block you can pass a tuple of tuple to the grid function. For example : ('B', locs(19, 3)) will create a horizontal block represented by B starting at position 19 and having length 3 (3 columns span)

To create a vertical block you can write e.g: ('O', locs(41, 2, N)). It will create a block of length 2 vertically starting at position 41.

Note: The location is a single integer and it takes into consideration the border. So if you create a 8 X 8 game, you will have 2 columns (rightmost and leftmost columns) and 2 rows (top and bottom rows) that will be used for the border of the game. So your game will be a 6 X 6. For example here is a 8 X 8 game:

|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|         B          |
|         B          @
|   *  *  B          |
|            P  P  P | 
|               O    | 
|   Y  Y  Y     O    |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

and here is the corresponding position:

 0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7
 8   9  10  11  12  13  14  15
16  17  18  19  20  21  22  23
24  25  26  27  28  29  30  31
32  33  34  35  36  37  38  39
40  41  42  43  44  45  46  47
48  49  50  51  52  53  54  55
56  57  58  59  60  61  62  63

Note

There are tons of ways to improve the efficient of the algorithm. It is a very simple solver.
