How do I use Excel to program a robot to get through a maze?

I think I understand the assignment. You need to build a formula the captures all the possibilities. (i.e wall in front, wall in front and behind, wall in front and to the right, etc)\n\nIt may be quite a little formula! Use help to understand the following formulas: AND, OR, CHOOSE, IF, NOT. Using a combination of nested in IF or CHOOSE statements would work.

Chuck Easttom has a good tutorial on his website. Somehow, I have it all in one Word document. But you can get it Chapter by chapter on his site:\n\nhttp://www.chuckeasttom.com/vb/index.htm

The latest issue of Dr.Dobbs Journal has an article about Sudoku. They include source code for a program you can build that solves a lot of the puzzles.\n\nThis is a VC++/MFC project so you would have to build it using VC++, unless of course you just lift the algorithm and build your own framework to run it.

2 ways you can do it, maybe 3. fastest would be type the first 3 numbers in a row, like A1=60000 A2=60001 A3=60002 then select those 3 numbers and put your mouse at the bottom right corner of the selection and (there should be a small black box there) and the cursor should look like a + then click/hold mouse and drag down 500 rows and it will auto increment. other way would be to write a macro.

There are several places on the Internet where you can get this type of code. Below I have put links to where you can get the robotics matlab toolkit for robotics work and a few other sites with more general robotics matlab code.\n\nEnjoy!

bring up a command prompt start->run type in cmd\n\nfrom the prompt type notepad hello.bat\n\nfrom notepad type \n   echo hello world\n\nsave the file \n\nfrom the command prompt type hello\n\nyour program will say hello world\n\ncongrats you wrote your first program\n-----------------------------------------\naccess is a database program which supports it's own programming language.  Excel is a spreadsheet program that supports spreadsheets which are programs, PowerPoint also supports programming constructs, the above language sample I provided is called batch.  Universal Markup is a specification which supports some programatic definition concepts.  Visio has programming and is focused on flow designs. \n\nAll programming languages have syntax and require tools to make them execute.  \n\nEven C/C++ requires a compiler, linker and runtime facilities to host the application.  \n\nIn general a computer based application is a thing  that has input and/or output that hopefully does something usefull.\n----------------------------------------------------\nSome OSs use combinations of C/C++/ASM in the kernel yes but certainly are not limited to those languages. You'll find a lot of java, visual basic, php etc. around these OSs and web platforms these days.

Well, the question doesn't have all the required details, but why not:\n- make sure that you ar eusing the correct type of vaiable (string/number/etc)\n- make a simple if statement that says, IF the number of tries is less than 10 then continue (where number of tries is lets say "x")\nOnce an answer is chosen, if the answer is corret, then thats it, ELSE, if x < 10 then x = x + 1 \n(this makes sure that x is less than 10...and adds 1)\nIF x = 10 THEN MsgBox "HARD LUCK" (like that, if the previous number was 9, by adding 1 it became 10...this line finishes the game up)\n\nAt the end, make sur eto reset the value of "x"\nx = 0

in excel all you have to do is to put = before any equation you want to solve and then press ok \nyou can use squares instead of the no.s

Very cool programming question.\n\nWriting a computer program to simulate 8 chess pieces, all queens moving about according to the rules of chess is an interesting problem.\n\nA simple approach would be to randomly populate the board with 4 white and 4 black queens. Then randomly pick a queen, and search along the 9 directions it can move. If you find an enemy queen capture it. If not, check each of your remaining queens for capture possibilities. If there are no captures search for a move which will set you up for a capture on the next move.\n\nNow repeat this for the other side.\n\nKeep looping until either one side wins, or moves repeat more than say ten times.\n\nGood luck!

Check http://www-class.unl.edu/psycrs/handcomp/hc1t.PDF\n\n\nAlso, Follow this procedure:\nEnter the values of X into the designated cells, beginning in the top-most cell. After each entry, depressing the 'tab' key will take you down to the next cell in the column. After completion and verification of data entry, click the button labeled «Calculate». If you wish to perform another analysis with a different set of data: click the «Reset» button if the value of N for the new set of data is undefined or smaller; click the «Reload» button if the value of N is larger than undefined.\n\nImporting data from a spreadsheet. Within the spreadsheet application, select and copy the column of data. Then return to this page, click the cursor into the data-entry field and perform the 'Paste' operation. It is important to make sure that the final line in the data-entry field entry is not followed by a carriage return. (An extra carriage return at the end of the list will be interpreted as an extra data entry whose value is zero. Importing data via the copy and paste procedure will almost always produce an extra carriage return at the end of a column.) After the bivariate list has been pasted into the data-entry field, click the cursor immediately to the right of the final entry in the list, then press the down-arrow key. If an extra line is present, the cursor will move downward. Extra lines can be removed by pressing the down arrow key until the cursor no longer moves, and then pressing the 'Backspace' key (on a Mac platform, 'delete') until the cursor stands immediately to the right of the final entry.\n(see http://faculty.vassar.edu/lowry/t_single.html)
