Hello,
So I think that I've 'completed' my first real Python program, and I would appreciate any constructive criticism you all could offer. The program deals with a question that my Dad asked me awhile ago, which was "If twelve people want to divide into teams of two and play (golf) against each other, can a series of rounds be constructed such that each player is teammates with each other player only once, and play against each other as opponents no more then 3 times" ( that last bit might or might not be 'optimal'.
My program:
1. Defines a round as a list, for example [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12], meaning player 1 & player 2 vs. player 3 & player 4, etc. I have generated all such possible rounds ( I think ).
2. Defines a tournament iterator object, which uses two functions, checkTeammates and checkOpponents, to build a tournament satisfying the above criteria.
Like I mentioned before, this is my first fairly complex program, and is also my first real use of things like exceptions, objects, and list comprehensions. Basically I would like to know weather or not I used these structures properly, weather or not my syntax is good, and if there are any places with potential for improvement. ( This version is somewhat slow, but is much faster than previous versions that I have written. ) I've tried to have as many comments as possible to help readability.
Code aside, my algorithm may or may not be the best. Feel free to suggest improvements.
The code is located at http://rafb.net/paste/results/lrd5DG32.html.
Thanks for any thoughts!
