andsome Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 :lol: ^ Nice try!The thing that I saw was between andsome and another guy saying they would pop over for a cuppa after bowls or something like that.Just to let you know, playing bowls is NOT a measure of a persons age. In one of my clubs we have several superb bowlers all under the age of twelve. One of them is eight years old, and he will almost certainly play for Staffordshire county when he is a few years older. I have played several young players, and was soundly beaten a few years ago by an eleven year old. It turned out that he was at that time, the Staffordshire junior county champion.Why are you afraid to publish your age. I will be 71 in April, and see no shame in that at all.

Panarchy Posted February 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2007 It's not about shame it is about anonymity. There are pedo's all over the internet and on forums! I don't want to get caught up in that! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Can't say I blame you. But I wouldn't say a majority of our members fit into any particular age group. We're pretty diverse, and take great pride in that. I, myself, am only 22 :)That said, as for your snakes and ladders problem, you won't be able to record this in excel's macros menu, nor are you going to be able to write this with formulas. You'll need to code these macros yourself. I would start by designing a basic board. Decide whether you want your program to learn the board itself or use a set one. To let the program learn it, you'll need to write a mechanism to scan a certain range looking for marked cells. I would mark them with background color, or something similar. After that, you'll need to code a user interface (how are your user's going to play?), and a ruleset. This will be hardcoded, and is very easy to turn into VB from this. This should provide you a leg-up to do your own research and get this assignment done. I'm not going to write it for you, but if you have a specific question, post and we'll see how we can help.

Panarchy Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Thanks scuzzman, but I need to do it without macros. On the webpage someone posted before there was a fully playable macro enabled version of Snakes and ladders. I am trying to make excel play, oh lets say 5000 games, of snakes and ladders.Please help,Panarchy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panarchy Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 :lol:Anyways, please help me with the formula's for simulating snakes and ladders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panarchy Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Can I have at least one of the formulas now? Not the dice one, I know that. Something else please! It is due in tomorrow! (12 hours from now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Did you not try the routines that I suggested. At least by presenting your flow diagrams, and conditional arguments would show that you have been putting some serious thought into understanding the complexity of the problem and have considered solutions. This would be infinitely preferable to just copying someone else's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
