Utility

Program encodes a field of objects (here radishes) into short code.

Decoding comes in opposite way.

Description

Field is represented as square, which side is equal 2^n.

In manual mode n can be from 1 to 6.

In field modes n can be from 1 to 15(this value may be heigher but calcualtions becomes slower).

Algorithm

To code a field we follow some rules:

• Start from the biggest square with 2^n side, if on all places are "1" write 1 to the code, analogously if all places are empty write 0 to code.
• If not all places are the same -> write # to code and run alg recusively for 4 squares with 2^(n-1) side
• Stop when square has side equal to 2

3 ways of usage

• Manual

  In this mode you can click on the radishes to change the field appearance. Also you can write code in edit text.

• Files with multiple fields/codes

  Reads fields or codes from file -> saves result to file and show it in GUI

• Files with one field/code

File encoding

Example

File with field should look like:

• The first line is the power
• Next lines should emit field layout

2
1100
1100
1111
1111

The output will be:

• The first character is the power
• Then space and code

2 #1011

File with multifields should look like:

• The first line is the power
• Next lines should emit field layout
• Enter and repeat

2
1100
1100
1111
1111

1
00
11

1
00
00

The output will be:

• The first character is the power
• Then space and code
• Enter and repeat

2 #1011
1 #0011
1 0
