Sudoku Solver

Submitted by andre on Mon, 2006-01-09 01:10.Programming

In the fine tradition of starting things I may never finish, I started to write a program to help solve Sudoku puzzles.

A bit of background:

  • Sudoku is a type of puzzle that is pure logic. (if this then that or if this then not that)
  • They've become wildly popular in the last little while.
  • I've only ever attempted to solve one
  • The entire time I was trying to solve it, I was more interested in the idea of writing a simple program that would help someone solve the puzzle than solving the puzzle in front of me

So I gave up on solving the puzzle and started writing the program that would help me solve the puzzle.

If I ever get around to finishing it in my 'spare time' then I will create a Drupal module based on the program. But, don't hold your breath. I already have too much on my plate ;-)
