KSudoku

Description

KSudoku project can generate and solve sudoku puzzles (of different difficulty level) using a randomized least-candidate algorithm. The sudoku boards currently supported are 9x9 and 16x16: but the program is fully expandable since the algorithm is extendible to any general graph coloring problem (the board is in fact stored as a graph and the numbers are the colors) In order to create a playable puzzle it fills a blank sudoku grid with a completed puzzle (randomly), then another algorithm (to be improved with some logical constraint) removes randomly numbers from it checking each time that the resultant puzzle has only one solution: it is a bit slower than logic-based elimination tecniques but it creates puzzles that are less straight-solved (more fun). The GUI is user-friendly and requires KDE. Written in C++. INSTALLATION 1. Open a shell in project directory (the one where this file is located) 2. Run "./configure" (will install the program in /usr/local/kde, if you want to install in /usr run "./configure --prefix=/usr") 3. Run "make" 4. Run "make install" as root. 5. Run "ksudoku" (if does not start check point 2) Whats New in This Release: · Added support for custom shaped sudokus · Samurai sudoku · Jigsaw sudoku, XSudoku, 4x4 · Undo/redo · Added new export system (you can print multiple puzzles in the same page) · File format is now XML · Added new welcomescreen and settings dialog · Internal structure changed.
