Camelot
Description
Centuries ago, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table used to meet every year on New Year's Day to celebrate their fellowship. In remembrance of these events, we consider a board game for one player, on which one king and several knight pieces are placed at random on distinct squares.
The Board is an 8x8 array of squares. The King can move to any adjacent square, as shown in Figure 2, as long as it does not fall off the board. A Knight can jump as shown in Figure 3, as long as it does not fall off the board.
During the play, the player can place more than one piece in the same square. The board squares are assumed big enough so that a piece is never an obstacle for other piece to move freely.
The player's goal is to move the pieces so as to gather them all in the same square, in the smallest possible number of moves. To achieve this, he must move the pieces as prescribed above. Additionally, whenever the king and one or more knights are placed in the same square, the player may choose to move the king and one of the knights together henceforth, as a single knight, up to the final gathering point. Moving the knight together with the king counts as a single move.
Write a program to compute the minimum number of moves the player must perform to produce the gathering.

Input
Your program is to read from standard input. The input contains the initial board configuration, encoded as a character string. The string contains a sequence of up to 64 distinct board positions, being the first one the position of the king and the remaining ones those of the knights. Each position is a letter-digit pair. The letter indicates the horizontal board coordinate, the digit indicates the vertical board coordinate.
0 <= number of knights <= 63
0 <= number of knights <= 63
Output
Your program is to write to standard output. The output must contain a single line with an integer indicating the minimum number of moves the player must perform to produce the gathering.
Sample Input
D4A3A8H1H8
Sample Output
10
题意: 1个国王和多个骑士, 求出国王和全部骑士在同一个点的最少时间, 已知国王和骑士的移动模式.
当国王和其中一个骑士再同一个点时, 骑士可以带着国王一起移动(国王变成和骑士一样).
解题思路:
1. 可以对国王和骑士的移动模式枚举出全部可以移动到的点.
2. 用floyd计算出每个点之间的最短距离.
3. 先枚举终点, 再枚举骑士和国王相遇的点. 计算最小值.
