Eight Queen Problem

A new version of this scenario was uploaded on Fri Mar 18 00:42:41 UTC 2011 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle The Eight Queen Problem is a classical problem that concerns the question "how can we place eight queens on a chess board so that non of the queens are threatened by any of the other queens?" This program solves it automatically for you. There is also additional functionality in this program. It allows you to place a queen in a place of your own choice and to resize the board. Here a brief instruction for using each of the functions: Solve: Press the solve button to make the program solve the problem for the given conditions. If you want to get the solution without going through the animation, press the pause button while the animation is running. Place Q: This function lets you place a queen. Move the green square up, down, left, and right and press enter when it is on the spot in which you want your queen to be placed. A queen cannot be placed on a flower. If you want to cancel placing a queen press the space button. Resize: The resize function lets you resize the board in the range 1-11. Press the resize button, then type the number that you want the board to be resized to and press enter. The resize function also clears the board. Clear: This function simply clears the board of any flowers and queens. Flowers: The flowers indicate threatened positions. Queens cannot be placed on flowers.
