Constraints & notes

The zero (0) does not exist in any of these games. It is therefore unnecessary to use the zero in the arguments. It all starts with 1.

• --numbers is the data list. The data to search in.

• --odds-numbers is the second data list. Chance number data to search in.

• --grid-count is the number of grid to generate.

• --mix is used to mix output. (optional)

  • absent: Generate result only from data list
  • present: Generate from data list and total number of grid content. Every game has maximum limit of numbers.
  • i.e: If present, generate from data list and the numbers included in each grid by dividing the number of grids (--grid-count) by 2. If --grid-count = 10, then 10 / 2 = 5, so 5 grids with combinations based on data list and another 5 grids with the default numbers in grid.
  • We can define a single mix in --mix at position 1 or higher (i.e.: --mix = "false" or --mix = "true false""), in this case, other grids without assigned values will be set to false by default.
  • Cannot be greater than --grid-count. It can be only smaller or equal to --grid-count.
  • i.e: if --grid-count = 2, --mix must be like that "Bool1 Bool2"
  • i.e: if --grid-count = 6, --mix must be like that "Bool1 Bool2 Bool3 Bool4 Bool5 Bool6"
  • A grid is represented in --mix by its position "Grid1 Grid2 Grid3 Grid4 Grid5 Grid6".
