摘要:In this paper, an attempt has been made to solve the word tile puzzle with the help of Bee Colony Algorithm, in order to find maximum number of words by moving a tile up, down, right or left. Bee Colony Algorithm is a type of heuristic algorithms and is efficient and better than blind algorithms, in terms of running time and cost of search time. To examine the performance of the implemented algorithm, several experiments were performed with various combinations. The algorithm was evaluated with the help of statistical functions, such as average, maximum and minimum, for hundred and two-hundred iterations. Results show that an increasing number of agents can improve the average number of words found for both number of tested iterations. However, continuous increase in number of steps will not improve the results. Moreover, results of both iterations showed that the overall performance of the algorithm was not much improved by increasing the number of iterations.
