1. Sudoku solver / generator
Hi all:
Today I sent to EU the version 0.0 of a very fast generalized Sudoku solver,
that not only solves the standard Sudoku problems but also admits different
rules including n-dimensional problems. I named it GSUDOKU.
Please test it and report any errors.

Interesting program, especially the possibility to modify the rules!
I did not find an error, but I'd like to suggest to simpify the data
input. I think a program such as "given.ex" is not necessary. It would
be more intuitive if the user would write the data directly in the file
"given", and the format IMHO should be the same as the output format,
which is also the same format in which the Sudoku puzzle is probably
presented to the user. E.g. 0 or . can be used for empty fields.

Juergen

Thanks for your suggestion.
I think that, instead of modifying solver.ex, it would be better to write
a new given1.ex program that gets the input in the format you suggest and
writes it out in the format solver.ex uses. I will add this program in the
next version, but before I will wait until more feedback comes.
Also, somebody in the list might want to port the algorithm to a visual
environment. At the present time, I have no time for this.
Writing this program was only a relaxing interlude between activities
that raise funds...
Regards.
