Knight's Tour v1b0
by LLWardIII
©1996, DivNull Software
Knight's Tour is a DarkSide/AfterDark module which illustrates a special
knight's tour. This tour, first published in _Philosophical_Magazine_
in 1848 by a guy named Beverley, also describes a magic square. If you
start counting the number of moves the knight makes at one, and put the
number of the move on the square from which the knight starts, the
resulting grid of numbers has rows and columns that all add up to the
same number.
This module should work on all Macintoshes with a 68020 or greater
processor. It is in beta, so please mail me if you have any problems
running it.
This module is freeware, but may not be distributed by anyone for
profit.
I would like a future version of this module to display random knight's
tours, but I do not have enough tours yet. If you know a knights tour,
particularly if it has unique characteristics, please e-mail it to me.
