Solving a wordsearch and delete the found characte

This is the problem:

To solve the puzzle you need to search and then delete from the wordsearch all the OCCURRENCES (if multiple) of the words in the list.

The letters of the diagram that will remain, taken all in their order by rows and by columns, they will form the solution of the game.

Words can appear in the diagram horizontally (from right to left, or from left to right), vertically (downwards or downwards towards the top) and diagonally (from top to bottom or from bottom to top).

Define a function es1 (ftxt), which takes the address of a text file, contains a word diagram of a crucipuzzle and returns the string solution of the game.

The fname file contains the wordsearch following the word list. A series of 1 or more blank lines preceding the diagram separates the diagram from the list of words and follows the word list. The diagram is recorded by lines (one line per line and consecutive lines) tab of each row are separated by a single character ('\ t'). The list of consecutive busy words, one word for each line.

I have found all the rows, columns and 50% of the diagonals, but I don't know how to find the coordinates of characters found in all directions to delete it and then have the solution.

This is my code:

                if "*" not in k2:
                    lista_orizzontale2.remove(k2)

Could someone help me by finding all the coordinates of the found letters in the wordsearch?

回答1:

You're making things rather difficult for yourself. Instead of transforming the puzzle array in every direction, just visit each letter in turn and look for words in each of the eight directions starting from this letter.

Since this appears to be some sort of homework, I'll leave you to fill in the details, but the basic outline of your code should look something like this:

puzzle = [list(row) for row in 'OTNEGRASAE', 'RNNCORALLO', 'OAIBLUEEVG',
        'UTORENTIIA', 'VIOLETTOOR', 'OCRARIAELO', 'DABIMALVAP', 'IPCIELOGLR',
        'CORPOSOUAO', 'APIENOMILP']
word_list = ['ACIDO', 'ARGENTO', 'BLU', 'CIELO', 'CORALLO', 'CORPOSO', 'ELETTRICO',
        'LATTE', 'LIMONE', 'MALVA', 'NERO', 'OCRA', 'OPACITA', 'ORO', 'PAGLIERINO',
        'PIENO', 'PORPORA', 'PRIMITIVO', 'VIOLA', 'VIOLETTO']

for {each word in word_list}:
    for {each cell in puzzle}:
            if {cell.upper() == first character of word}:
                for direction in [(1,0),(1,1),(0,1),(-1,1),(-1,0),(-1,-1),(0,-1),(1,-1)]:
                    (dx, dy) = direction
                    {Does the puzzle contain all the other characters of word in this direction?}
                    {If so change these cells to lower case, and skip to next word}

{extract all the remaining upper case letters from the puzzle}

this is my new code from your idea:

with open('cp5_Colori.txt', 'r') as f:
import pprint
data=f.read().replace("\t","")
A=[]
data=data.split("\n\n")
word_list=data[1].split()
lista_orizzontale=data[0].split()
puzzle=[list(row) for row in lista_orizzontale]
for parola in word_list:
    for lista in puzzle:
        x=puzzle.index(lista)
        for carattere in lista:
            y=lista.index(carattere)
            if carattere.upper() == parola[0]:
                for direction in [(1,0),(1,1),(0,1),(-1,1),(-1,0),(-1,-1),(0,-1),(1,-1)]:
                    (dx, dy) = direction
                    for i in range(len(parola)):    
                        if ((puzzle[x+dx*i][y+dy*i].upper()== parola[i]) and ((x+dx*i)<len(puzzle)) and ((y+dy*i)<len(lista))) == True: 
                            A.append(puzzle[x+dx*i][y+dy*i])
                            if "".join(A)==parola:



                        else:
                            break
pprint.pprint(puzzle)

here

i don't rescue to find the solution. the solution should be "sangueblu" what is wrong?
