I'm new to this forum, as you may see by the number of posts:P I recently decided to learn Ruby, coming from Java, and I thought that creating a sudoku solver would be a nice to way to start playing and learning Ruby... I started by implementing a simple technique..but after some successful puzzles I found some that my program couldn't handle..So I reached this forum, which is really great! I have to be honest, I never thought there were so many ways to solve a puzzle! So, my question is, how do you implement all these techniques on a program? Do you use them all? Or do you let the user select the technique he wants to try? I know that most "advanced" solvers have different techniques implemented, I just wanted to know how does the program decides which technique to use..
