*** Black Dog achieved in 36 ZepMarks ***

Naturally, someone else ported it to Python. And, because I’m just like that, I ported it to Ruby:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

words = ['hey', 'mama', 'said', 'the', 'way', 'you',
  'move', 'gonna', 'make', 'sweat', 'groove']

success = [ 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
  8, 5, 9, 7, 8, 5, 10]

iterations = 0
matches = 0
matched = Array.new

while matches < 16
  iterations += 1
  print "[#{iterations}] "

  0.upto(15) do |i|
    if matched[i]
      print words[success[i]], ' '
    else
      r = rand(11)
      print words[r], ' '
      if r == success[i]
        matches += 1
        matched[i] = true
      end
    end
  end

  print "\n"
end

puts "*** Black Dog achieved in #{iterations} ZepMarks ***"

(Oh, c’mon, it was only 604 bytes — don’t whine about it needing an LJ cut!)
