Is there a public sudoku puzzle database somwhere? I don't really have a big interest in creating solvers etc and I just getting the puzzle and answers from a database would speed the application up a lot. It's the interface I'm interested in creating Back to top Jean-Christophe Joined: 19 Mar 2006 Posts: 126 : Location: Belgium Items Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2008 1:05 pm    Post subject: There's a DB at menneske.no _________________ Jean-Christophe "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

From their faq: Quote: Can I make a program which download a lot of puzzles? No. If you wish to download a lot of puzzles you should send me an email first. Can I publish puzzles from this site? No. This is a free service. If you wish to publish puzzles you have to buy them from me.

You can use the SuDoKu-Cracker (www.the24net.com/sudoku/) for batch-making puzzles in any level. You can also define the output-format (e.g. one-liner notation). arne.

I download your program. Exeactly how can I batch make puzzles there and decide the output format? I only found option to create one puzzle and then export that puzzle. Is it also possible to export the soltuon with the puzzle so I have both? Thanks.

Since it doesn't have the answers I don't think it will work for me. I was looking for a database with both the answers and puzzles so I can just feed it to my GUI Back to top a r n e Joined: 27 Mar 2008 Posts: 9 : Location: Norway Items Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2008 2:43 pm    Post subject: An update is now available.
