I don't think this is a bug, kittens. since h[2] returns a value [eventhough it's not set], it causes h[2] to evaluate so the assignmentnever happens. x ||= y just means give me x or set x to y if there'sno value for x. h[2] _does_ have a value if only a default one.

Well i'll try to explain very very short what i need...

See my representation of a grid (now don't laugh ;) )

All the 1's stand for cell with celltype road...

x  x  x  1  o  o  o  1

x  2  x  1  o  o  o  1

x  x  x  1  o  o  o  1

1  1  1  1  1  1  1  1

o  o  o  1  o  o  o  1

o  o  o  1  o  o  o  1

o  o  o  1  o  o  o  1

Let's concentrate on the number 2 in the top left 'segment' of the grid 
and it's surrounding x's. Let the 2 stand for a cell with celltype 
housing...the x's are also given a celltype of 2 坦r 3, but i haven't 
displayed them here...in the code this is done by the 60 and 40 percent 
thingy...

For the celltypes 2 and 3 I have preference scores like this:

Table for celltype 2: housing
---------------------------------------
regarding type:  preference score:
celltype 1       12
celltype 2       12
celltype 3       8

Table for celltype 3: green environment
---------------------------------------
regarding type:  preference score:
celltype 1       3
celltype 2       8
celltype 3       12

Now i need something that reads the celltypes of the x's, or so to say 
of the cells which touch the '2 cell'. Then when it has read all the 
celltypes it needs to add all the preference scores of those celltypes 
(gathered out of the table of the central cell, in this case Table for 
celltype 2: housing.

Example: there are 8 x'es or 8 cells surrounding that 2 cell. Let five 
of them be of celltype 2 and the remaining three of them are celltype 3. 
Then I, or better the program ;), need(s) to calculate a score of:

5 x (score of celltype 2 in table 2) = 5 x 12 = 60
3 x (score of celltype 3 in table 2) = 5 x 8  = 40
---------------------------------------------------
Total adjacency score of this cell            = 100

So I need to really only have the cells which are in a distance range of 
1 of some cell.

The above is an explanation of the step I need to find out, below 
follows a small explanation of how the total system should work. So ONLY 
read the below if you're interested, its just a further explanation of 
what my end goal is.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The above should be processed as follows.

For the first and second cell ([0,0] and [1,0] OR [0,0] and [0,1], my 
teacher and I dont think it should matter in the end, because all cells 
are going to be switched, troughout the algorithm) the above scores 
should be calculated.

surrounding cells for cell 1 and cell 2:
-----------------------------------------
2  x            x  x

x  x            3  x

                x  x

STEP 1:
It needs to calculate a total adjacency score for cell 1 (3 x's), from 
table for celltype 2, and a total adjacency score of cell 2 (5 x's), 
from table for celltype 3. Then the total of these two subtotals is 
calculated (this first random filled situation represents just a random 
filling of space with housing and green).

STEP 2: Now the celltypes of cell 1 and cell 2 are switched and the new 
subtotals are calculated (this switch represents a new situation):

3  x            x  x

x  x            2  x

                x  x

If the total of the two subtotals in this switched situation is higher 
than the total of step 1, then the cells stay switched, if it's lower 
then we have to switch back.
So to say we look if the suitability of the switched situation is higher 
as the old situation, if so let the cells keep the higher suitability, 
if not switch back to the old situation with higher suitability.

After this decision (wether the cells are switched or not, that doesnt 
matter) cell 1 and cell 3 are looked at and the two steps are taken 
again. Again look if switching has a higher suitability, if so keep the 
switch between cell 1 and 3, otherwise switch back.

Then cell 1 and 4
Then cell 1 and 5
etc. until the last cell is looked at.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** When going through the cells all cells with celltype = 1 have to be 
skipped (hence the locked status) because these stand for roads which 
are predefined in the planning area and should not be switched. They are 
in fact regarded when they act as surrounding cells because we want for 
example to get the housing cells located near the road cells (houses in 
Holland are usually located at a street ;-)  )
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that, we start with cell 2 and cell 3, cell 2 and cell 4, cell 2 
and cell 5 etc. After that cell 3 and cell 4, cell 3 and cell 4, cell 3 
and cell 5 etc.

The main idea is that this algorithm should calculate the ultimate 
suitability of a plan area which has to be developed with housing and 
green at the hand of preference scores. As you see in the text, it is a 
real pain if you would have to do this by hand so that's why we try to 
develop some system...Furthermore if I get this to work, then we can 
expand the different celltypes, tables, preference scores etc to a more 
sophisticated system.

Anyways I hope this all makes a bit sense...I had it in a word file 
explained earlier but now with the help of this text maybe you guys get 
a better view at the problem...

Sorry for the size of my reply, but when I start typing I have the 
tendacy to get a bit abundant :D:D...

Greets, Joop
