Objective-C Student Project: Calculating 8x6 Connect4 wins?

[norton50]

I am looking for a way to check if there is a win in my objective-c IOS application. Everything works, but I don't have a function to calculate the win possibilities. The positions are stored in a multidimensional array of array[x][y]. If there is no chip, it is valued at =0, red =1, and yellow=2. Does anyone know how to use some sort of method to calculate and check if there are 4 of the same colour in a row either horizontally vertically or diagonally. Skip to line 160 of ViewController.m

Thanks for any help!

Well, the way I would do it would be, after a move is made, check in every direction for chips of the same color, and if the colors match, continue in that direction until either four chips are the same color (Win), or a different color is seen (Not a Win). Repeat for each direction.

 

[randomizer]

Please, please, please refactor this. There is more copy and paste here than I've seen in some job applicants' programming test submissions. Almost all of that code is identical. I suggest you look at why an array won't work and sort that out. You would be able to remove an enormous amount of code duplication if you can dump all of those image fields.

I know this doesn't in any way answer your question, but you are going to save yourself future headaches if you clean this up now. With that much code duplication you are making this application easy to break and hard to maintain.

 

[gamerk316]

Yeah, I was wondering why the OP didn't use arrays for the variables, and just use a FOR loop for control...

 

[Scott_D_Bowen]

It's funny because the variables could've been declared as:
int w8h6; to int w1h1; (all inclusive) but they are all x1 to x48 even though it's for a 2D array (at least interpretively).

It looks like the result of what happens when someone either sleeps through, or just doesn't pay enough attention during their programming classes.

If there is a university teaching people to do this Then
we have a reason to use our nuclear stockpile for good!
Else
maybe there is a God after all...

 

[gamerk316]

^^ Because you can't teach a person program structure; they either know it, or they don't.

Still, having to do the same exact thing 48 times over is generally a hint its time to use some sort of array/collection.
