Subject: Games::Boggle and a Boggle Solver
Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2006 00:31:44 -0800 (PST)
To: bug-Games-Boggle [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Joe Oppegaard <joe [...] radiojoe.org>
Tony, The other day I wrote a Perl module to find all the words possible on a boggle board. It seemed a natural fit to add this functionality to Games::Boggle since it can already look for a given word, but before I went through the work of patching Games::Boggle I figured I should ask if you had any interest. Currently, the module is named Games::Boggle::Analyzer. I attached a tarball to this email containing Games::Boggle::Analyzer and a little test program that generates a new random board and solves it. (You'll need to have Games::Boggle::Board installed for the random board functionality in the script, there is a commented out line if you would just prefer to generate the letters yourself. It also assumes you have a /usr/share/dict/words to lookup words in). I haven't yet tried speeding up the algorithm (though it's faster than I thought it would be) or actually added code for the whole Q -> Qu thing, so it's not quite ready for release but I thought I'd run it by you and see what you thought. Cheers, -Joe Oppegaard
