 Posted: Sat Mar 24, 2007 6:49 pm Post subject: PM to Simple Sudoku Conversion Program |
 |
|
Simple Sudoku lets you input a PM through 'Paste' from the clipboard. It also includes the current PM when you do a 'Copy' to the clipboard. However, you can't place a PM into a .SS file and you can't always successfully save a PM to a .SS file -- until now.
I've transformed a copy of my solver into a conversion program that reads a PM from an input file and creates a .SS output file that exactly matches it. This way, any eliminations in the PM are preserved, and any additional changes will be properly appended so that the puzzle can be saved and reloaded properly.
What I need to know now is if I'm the only one interested in my conversion program. It runs in Windows, and I have a simple BATch file so it can be run with drag-n-drop ease.

Ennssv...
E(xclude) in cell 'nn' (0..80) value(s) 'v' (1..9). 'ss' is a sequence number when multiple cells are involved in one Simple Sudoku operation. I don't utilize the 'ss' field. (  Maybe I should use the 'ss' field and make the eliminations all one operation.) |
