It is an algorithm to :>make a knight move around the chess board and hit every square exactly once. :>I am looking for an optimized version, not a brute force method that I would have to run all night...Thanks... : I did this once using paper and a pencil. If you don't need to get back to square one it is easy. Keep track of all visited squares and remove them as you go. Then jump to the least connected square. :---------------------------------------------------------------- :I Michael Vargo II Internet: mvarg@ctp.com I :I Cambridge Technology Partners II I :I 617-349-1231 II I :---------------------------------------------------------------- :I "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice" I :I - Freewill I :---------------------------------------------------------------- Urban Koistinen - md85-epi@nada.kth.se
