Tent Game in Answer Set Programming


The Tent game is a logic puzzle on a square or rectangular grid. Each grid cell can have a tree, a tent or stay empty. <Nourry (2024)>

The following rules must be respected:

  • Tent can be placed on empty cells.
  • Each tent is attached to a tree placed on an adjacent cell.
  • A tree cannot be attached to more than one tent.
  • Two tents cannot be placed on adjacent, nor diagonal cells.
  • The number of tents on each row and column is specified.
  • Some cells are not accessible, no tent can be pitched there. <“Fiche: Jeux de Réflexion - Tentes” (n.d.);Nourry (2024)>

The aim of this article is to propose a implementation of the Tent game in Answer Set Programming.

How to render pseudocode in Hugo with pseudocode.js


To render pseudocode in Hugo, you can use the pseudocode.js library.

Here is what I did to make this working on my blog.

Theme configuration

In your theme files, you will first need to add link to the library CDN.

<!-- in themes/<theme>/layouts/partials/pseucodode.html -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/KaTeX/0.16.7/katex.min.js"
        integrity="sha512-EKW5YvKU3hpyyOcN6jQnAxO/L8gts+YdYV6Yymtl8pk9YlYFtqJgihORuRoBXK8/cOIlappdU6Ms8KdK6yBCgA=="
        crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer">
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/pseudocode@latest/build/pseudocode.min.css">
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/pseudocode@latest/build/pseudocode.min.js"></script>

And render all element with pseudocode HTMl class.

<!-- in themes/<theme>layouts/partials/pseudocode-render.html -->
<script>
    let pseudocodeElements = document.getElementsByClassName("pseudocode");
    for (let element of pseudocodeElements) {
        pseudocode.renderElement(element);
    }
</script>

<!-- in themes/<theme>/layouts/_default/baseof.html -->
<head>

    ...

    {{ if .Param "pseudocode" }}
      {{ partialCached "pseudocode" . }}
    {{ end }}
</head>

<body>
    
    ...

    <main>
        {{ block "main" . }}{{ end }}
        {{ if .Param "pseudocode" }}
            {{ partialCached "pseudocode-render" . }}
        {{ end }}
    <main>
</body>

github-linguist is a Ruby library and command line tool for detecting the programming languages used in a project. It is used by GitHub to detect the language of a project and to generate language statistics.

We can use it through the command line, in order to analyze the programming languages used in a project.

During my application to bioinformatics master degree, I had to say which programming languages I commend. So here is some quick tips to use github-linguist as I learned to do for this purpose.
