The Programming Problems
1. Chess-board
Write a program which can determine if it is possible to place a
given number of queens and knights on a chess-board, such that no
piece threaten another.
If the program finds a solution it should be displayed.
In addition, it must be possible to design the chess-board such that
it can have up to twenty-six rows (1-26) and columns (A-Z).
2. Dice
Write a program which will simulate the throwing of a dice.
- The screen will show the side view of an enclosed box,
into which a dice will enter from the top right corner.
- The throw will be activated by pressing and releasing a given key.
The initial velocity of the dice will be determined
by the lenght of time this key is pressed.
- The dice will have the shape of a cube with the value of each
side, in points, on the faces.
- The orientation of the dice entering the box will be randomly
selected.
