[REBOL] "Towers of Hanoi" : Comments please
From: rgombert::essentiel::net at: 18-Feb-2001 21:05
Hi,
This is one of my first scripts with REBOL. As i'm not sure of the "better"
way to achieve things, i would be happy to receive your comments about this
script, and how to code it better, or closer to the REBOL coding 'spirit'.
Thanks,
Renaud

Purpose: {
The "Towers of Hanoi" Game.
Discs of different sizes stays on 3 sticks/stacks. Move one disc at a time
from one stack
to another. A move is possible only if the destination stick is empty or
its top disc is greater than the
the one you are moving. The goal is to move the initial stack from the
first stick to an other.
