Hello,everyone.Im doing the same project as Slash12
source:http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread331507.html

I thought the data structure I constructed is correct but I don't know how to test it until my search function works.
The errors i have now are:
TypeError:__init__() takes exactly 3 arguements(1 given)

for i in range(len(board)) has no len()
TypeError:object of type "NoneType"

Im not sure about line 37 def enqueue(element, queue)
line 203
and the search function

Any advice or feedback is greatly appreciated

is it okay that i make a loadBoard function inside class and call it ?

playerData=board()
playerData.loadBoard(gameFile,playerId, numPlayers, playerHomes, wallsRemaining)

You are not allowed to use list or collections.deque for the queue?

we can use everything. can anyone test my data structure. i dont know what wrong with it

Better first to use standard tested data structure. Your class is strange as it has no methods but is used only as structure by module functions. Also I do not understand where comes value of que. And open is poor variable name.

#
def enqueue(element, queue):

"""Insert an element into the back of the queue"""

newnode = ListNode(element)

if empty(queue):

queue.up = newnode

elif empty(queue):

queue.down = newnode

elif empty(queue):

queue.left = newnode

else:

queue.right = newnode

What is the logic here? Very redundant method i see.
Besides you do not have a proper class grip hence data are not called and sync'ed well. Please break your codes into parts and repost them one after other as i like running away from 50 lines of code at one go.
