|
|
Hi,
this is a brand new, free Sudoku Generator/Solver found at
http://web.telia.com/~u88910365/
It runs on Windows XP. It probably runs also on Windows 95/98.
It has a graphical user interface and is designed to support the user activities when playing Sudoku, ie. support for:
Creating puzzles with specified difficulty level, opening puzzles and store them, importing puzzles in text files, solving puzzles, editing of pencil marks and providing hints.
It has support for the diagonal version of Sudoku ("Sudoku X"), where the main diagonals also must have all digits 1-9.
The engine part of the Generator/Solver is implemented as a DLL with described function calls. Using the DLL, anyone can design his/hers own user interface.
Regards
Bo |

Hi,
a new release 0.9 has been uploaded at my website
http://web.telia.com/~u88910365/
The earlier solver has been replaced by a new
exact cover solver, resulting in a 3 times speed improvement
in generation of the harder puzzles.
The exact cover solver is in public domain and is designed
by Guenter Stertenbrink, earlier presented at this forum http://www.setbb.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=119&mforum=sudoku.
For more details, see my website and the downloaded files.
Regards

Hi,
the release 1.1 includes some improvements and a bug fix:
An additional solution technique has been introduced. It is broader than the "block/block interaction" technique and make that technique superfluous (see thread http://www.setbb.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=394&mforum=sudoku).
Improved automatic generation of pencil marks.
Minimal symmetric puzzles (to the extent that the symmetry is not broken).
Correction of a bug that has previously distorted the performance measurement (it gave too good values).
Visit my website for download and more information.
Regards
