    <p>If you're looking for a simple-ish solution, may I suggest a bit of randomization?</p> <p>What I mean is this: in the cokeandcode code example, there is the nested-for-loops that generate the "successor states" (to use the AI term). I refer to the point where it loops over the 3x3 square around the "current" state, adding new locations on the pile to consider.</p> <p>A relatively simple fix would (should :)) be isolate that code a bit, and have it, say, generated a linkedlist of nodes before the rest of the processing step. Then Containers.Shuffle (or is it Generics.Shuffle?) that linked list, and continue the processing there. Basically, have a routine say, "createNaiveNeighbors(node)" that returns a LinkedList = {(node.x-1,node.y), (node.x, node.y-1)... } (please pardon the pidgin Java, I'm trying (and always failing) to be brief.</p> <p>Once you build the linked list, however, you should just be able to do a "for (Node n : myNewLinkedList)" instead of the </p> <pre><code>for (int x=-1;x&lt;2;x++) { for (int y=-1;y&lt;2;y++) { </code></pre> <p>And still use the exact same body code!</p> <p>What this would do, ideally, is sort of "shake up" the order of nodes considered, and create paths closer to the diagonal, but without having to change the heuristic. The paths will still be the most efficient, but <em>usually</em> closer to the diagonal.</p> <p>The downside is, of course, if you go from A to B multiple times, a different path may be taken. If that is unnacceptable, you may need to consider a more drastic modification.</p> <p>Hope this helps! -Agor</p>

    1. COwow, thanks Agor. Although this may not be chosen as "The Answer" for my exact question, it IS the answer to my WalkLikeHumanHeuristic comment, which i made before I saw this. I can't say I understand everything you said, but I get the general idea of it. I shall definatly look into this. If you would like to join my team on this game (Team including me...) and implement this, I'd be happy to give it a go!

    2. CONo problem, happy to help. I'm flattered about the invitation, but I'm still a student (and working over the summer), so I must decline. Good luck, though!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
