Towers of Hanoi

This is a Python application that demonstrates the classic problem of the Towers of Hanoi using a graphical user interface (GUI). The Towers of Hanoi is a mathematical puzzle where the objective is to move a stack of disks from one rod to another while following a set of rules. The application uses the PySide6 library for the GUI and the Matplotlib library for visualization.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• PySide6
• Matplotlib

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the source code.
2. Install the required dependencies by running the following command: pip install PySide6 matplotlib

Usage

To run the application, execute the following command:

python main.py

The application window will open, displaying the initial state of the Towers of Hanoi puzzle. The GUI provides several buttons for controlling the game:

• Play: Starts or pauses the automatic playback of moves.
• Next: Moves to the next step in the solution.
• Previous: Moves to the previous step in the solution.
• Reset: Resets the game to the initial state.
• Number of disk: Allows you to change the number of disks in the puzzle.

How It Works

The application uses the HanoiGame class to represent the state of the Towers of Hanoi puzzle. The HanoiGame class contains methods for solving the puzzle and manipulating the state of the game. The TowerOfHanoi class is responsible for creating the GUI and handling user interactions.

The application uses Matplotlib to visualize the state of the puzzle. Each disk is represented by a colored bar, and the rods are represented by vertical lines. The GUI provides buttons for controlling the game and a spin box for changing the number of disks.
