sorry, must have been typing too fast again.

it should be, 01 02 04 06 08, not 01 02 04 05 08.

aiming for 6 but hit 5.

A note about filling out the Matching Condition Combination:

When you start, your are using any other pool number not selected, we mean relative to the Matching Combination itself.

Example, for our first work out, if you selected 03 05 07 09, then the numbers you'd randomly select from would be 01 02 04 05 08 to complete the combo for a playable line in our wheel.

To resolve this problem we have to specially mark the Matching Condition Combinations as Included and Excluded.

The Included is the initial Random Selection.

The Excluded are the those combinations that have a similar Win Condition as the initial Included Random Selection.

When we're finished selecting all the Matching Condition Combninations, we check to see if we covered all the Pool Numbers.

If we did not get all the Pool Numbers covered, we can Randomly select any of the Excluded... [ More ]

Below is an example of a problem that can occur in the Algorithm.

What happen is all the Matching Condition Combinations were picked, but the Number 5 was left out from our Pool.

The added missing combo is marked with an *.

The process worked, but not all the pool numbers were covered.

We need to correct for this by a Random Missing Combo Selection.

Wheel

- Pick 5

- 9 Numbers

- 3 Combinations

- 2.380952% Coverage of 126 Combinations

This is an actual Wheel that was built with the code.

Wheel

- Pick 5

- 9 Numbers

- 5 Combinations

- 3.968254% Coverage of 126 Combinations

Condition

- If 4 Drawn Numbers are in the Set of 9 Numbers,

- Then at least 1 Combination has 3 Winning Numbers.

In this repeated process you'll notice we have covered all the Pool Numbers, but we have not selected all the Matching Condition Combinations.

We must keep repeating the process until all of the Matching Condition Combinations have been either selected (included) or marked as covered by the initial random selection (excluded).

There are three things we need to complete the algorithm process.

1 - Track the pool numbers selected.

2 - Track the wheel combinations generated.

3 - Create the total combinations that are possible for the matching condition.

From those three things we can start selection of matching combinations and make a playable combo for our wheel.

The process works well, but it has a interesting problem that may occur and is handled by checking for any missing pool numbers not selected.

JADELottery — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 14:41:05 GMT

Ok, we're going handle this in a few different posts, so, try to hold on to any questions till complete.

We will work a small example of a wheel generation using the settings of: Set = 9, Pick = 5, Match = 4, Win = 3.

If you decide to use these setting on your own copy of the wheel generator, keep in mind your resultant wheel may be different than the example we are posting here.

This is due to the random nature of the algorithm process.

We're reposting the WheelGenerator Class with some comments only.

We removed the update fluff to clear the clutter.

So if you copy and paste this code, you will see very limited updating when running the program.

If there is an error, just review the previous post and compare, or just copy and paste back the previous posted code.

We are working on explaining the logic behind the code.

Sorry if I've missed them but I don't see any links to documentation for the live demo. From a quick perusal of the code, it is clearly much more than a simple enumerator of combinations. Could you please post a short summary of what the program is designed to do? It would help a lot with the deciphering process.

Have you considered using an open source site like Google Code to host your code? I find it to be a great way to share projects, and it has built-in support for the Subversion (SVN) source versioning tool. (TortoiseSVN is the best client software for interacting with Subversion).

Thanks.

We are working on an expansion of the wheel generator to include key numbers, paired numbers, grouped numbers, and some other wheeling types.

We think it could include Daily Pick 3, Pick 4, and Pick 5 numbers as well.

The expansion needs a bit of work because the programming logic is fairly complex.
