Need help
« on: August 25, 2016, 11:36:32 pm »
Hello,

I am working on a connect the dots game to learn basics of game design, but I am struggling to figure out how to check if lines are drawn in between  two circles which are used as dots. Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi,

You can use a matrix to represent links between your dots.

Check this out. (Adjacency matrix ) It is one of many ways of representing links for a graph.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjacency_matrix#Examples

In fact, the implementation of your problem is based on a graph structure.
Where, Circles/dots are nodes and lines are Links.

I suggest you read some tutorial about that, it will make it very easy to implement your game.

Goodluck
