This program is a non-interactive demo that showcases how to solve the classic puzzle. The time estimate provides an indication of how long it may take for a computer to solve. It is not a game for users to play.
This software is not an interactive game per se but rather a demonstration that showcases how to solve the classic puzzle of moving disks. The software provides a rough estimate of the time required to perform the task and is only meant to give users an idea of the time it would take for a computer to solve the puzzle with varying numbers of disks.
According to the story behind this puzzle, monks were required to move 64 disks from the start peg to the destination peg by moving one disk at a time, ensuring that they never placed a larger disk on top of a smaller one. Legend has it that the world would end once the monks completed the task.
However, solving this puzzle is no easy feat. Moving one disk in one second, which would be incredibly challenging, would take approximately 500 billion years to complete. Using a 1.6 gigahertz processor and this program, the puzzle could be solved in around 50 million years, which is considerably less time than 500 billion years. The only downside is that there's a chance that the power supply will burn up before then due to prolonged usage.
On the brighter side, this software does offer some interactive features. Users can use their left or right mouse button to drag the disks and change their size by moving them up, down, left, or right. This feature can be helpful in understanding the mechanics of the puzzle and how it can be solved.
