ENHANCING TECHNIQUES AND SYSTEMS FOR LOGICAL GAMES, ACTIVITIES AND PUZZLES |
摘要 |
A class of games and activities of skill and logic, particularly puzzles based on reason and logic are described. Disclosed are a method and a system for comparing solutions to the puzzles based on the paths to solution and for completion of the activities based on the order of carrying out the steps of the activity. A number of applications of the method are disclosed for development of further puzzles and activities from the initial puzzle or activity, as well as for other enriching experiences and expressions, particularly the method of providing a priori or real time hints to a participant to solve the puzzle or advance in the activity |

1. A method of ranking in order, two or more paths or segments thereof, by comparing their measures of efficiency, for an activity, game, or puzzle that is either carried out or displayed on a computerized device or computerized network, wherein the activity, game or puzzle comprises linking a character from a given set of distinct characters to each empty space in a given set of distinct spaces having at least one empty space by a given set of rules for the linking, wherein the given set of rules includes a rule that the activity, game, or puzzle comes to an end when each empty space in the given set of distinct spaces has a character linked to it, wherein an empty space is a space in the given set of distinct spaces that does not have a character linked to it, wherein the method comprises the steps:
(a) associating a value with the linking of a character to an empty space for each step of the path or segment thereof according to a preset formula; (b) combining the values allocated to each step of the path into an Aggregate for the path according to a preset algorithm; (c) computing a numerical Measure of Efficiency of said path by a predetermined formula based on said Aggregate for the path or segment thereof; (d) comparing the numerical measures of efficiency of two or more paths or segments thereof; (e) selecting a preferred path or segment thereof from said two or more paths or segments thereof. |
