You ever like to solve Sudoku puzzles, but they just take too damn long!? Well, I’ve nearly got the solution for you! Yes, in fact I am presently working on a php based, logic based sudoku puzzle solver.
After several hours of coding I have the input system, and the possibilities system. That means, you can put in the starting numbers, and the page will feed back all the possible numbers for each space. Which is half the battle. Now, all that is really left is to make the system compare each possible value of each box with the other possible values of the other boxes and whence finding a value that is unique in it’s relative location, moving that possible value to a defined value, and restarting the process by finding the new possible values including the updated defined values.
Yes, thats all there is to it! Then I need to figure out a way to stop the program when it finishes. That will come later though, who really wants the program to stop anyways?
It isn’t presently at a stage appropriate for public viewing, but I think I should have something soon!
