Unblock me is a puzzle game in iphone. It's originated from rush hour. I am interested in solving the board game using computer. I can enter the board configuration into the computer one by one, but I would like to do it automatically. With image processing capatibability in Mathematica, the process can be done rather easily by taking screenshot.

Is it possible to add garbage collector to MathOO which is practical?

In Mathematica, variables with downvalues will not be collected even it has the attribute "temporary".

Since MathOO makes extensive use of downvalues for both class and object, is it possible to overcome ...

A package is released as open source project in GoogleCode/MathOO-packages. The aim of the project is to provide basic utilities and basic classes using MathOO, so that you can use it in an object oriented way. In the initial release, 1.0b, a dictionary class (associated array) is provided.

This document is a documentation of the dict class in MathOO-packages. Basically it behaviors very similarly to Python dict.

This is a basic tutorial about using MathOO, the internal structure of MathOO, and how MathOO works.

Code is provided to benchmark the performance of MathOO.

It is a documentation of MathOO, listing most of its functions and usage.

Please report bugs of MathOO here by leaving a comment. State the details of the bug, and please post any code involved.

Please leave your comment below for any features request or improvement for MathOO. Thank you.

Mathematica is a very useful software in many science fields. It supports procedural programming and functional programming. However, it does not support the modern object oriented programming. If you would like to add that, there is a package called Objectica, and it will cost you quite a fortune ($1000 on 3/11/2010).

Here I have developed a Mathematica ...
