Subject: [DelphiGames] Storing train station location
To: delphigames@yahoogroups.com

> Hello,
>
> I'm converting an old board game to a computerised version. Its
> based on
> the Great Western Railway so I need to convert all the station
> locationsinto some sort of database. The starting point is
> Paddington station and
> the rest of the stations branch out like a tree. At the moment I'm
> trying to think of the best way to store this data. I need to
> programmatically be able to travel to any location from any location
> base on rules. These rules could be that certain station must be
> visitedor avoided. Some stations may have several lines
> associated with them so
> that several different directions could be selected. Can anyone
> suggesta solution for storing / accessing this data. Is there a
> mathematicalsolution that I could apply to the data to create a
> tree ( a binary
> split approach ?). I'd be grateful for any ideas or suggestions.
