The Anti-Magic Square Project: File Area
Computers were very helpful in achieving the goals of this project especially
in the areas of enumeration and construction. All programs written and used
in this project are made available here in the hope that they may be used to
expand what is known about Anti-Magic squares. I'm certain there are many
other patterns beyond the ones described on this site -- Use these programs to
find your own!
Release Information
I've tried to document each program sufficiently at the beginning of the
source code. If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact me.
All code made available here is released into the public domain by the author.
SQlib Functions
Almost all programs revolve around the data type SQ_square_t
and functions like SQ_something.
SQlib is basically a matrix manipulation library in C. In order to run any
program on this page you'll need to compile in the SQlib code. In UNIX use:
cc myprog.c sq.c sqio.c sqmagic.c -o myprog
