A Challenge If Someone Wants To Take Up My Gauntlet
 
I'd like to see a Sudoku Solver (or several perhaps?) written as a zMUD script. I don't care how exactly you do it, but you'll need a way to input the values for the 81 boxes, with 0 used to represent blank spaces. Your code should then replace the 0s with a blank space in any display code you use to output it to the screen (though you shouldn't need to do that...). It should then solve the puzzle and display the solution (in a status window?) for the user. Oh yes, and I'd like the original input values flagged somehow, perhaps colored green?

Okay... i effectively have this made... at least for some simple puzzle examples (in under 10 seconds). Still testing harder examples before I post it.

I was further off then I thought... but i have it solving rather hard puzzles now... I think i need a more challenging book to get a puzzle from. Its doing the ones in my workbook in 11 iterations or less.

When i finish i will put this on the package library (since i made it with CMUD). Just working out the logistics of my third solving technique.

Explaining the process my mind uses to do these is alot harder than just doing them Confused

Gives you incentive to update? Cheaper than a console game and you will get far more hours of use.

Don't spend too long trying to make your solver super efficient... solving Sudoku is an NP-complete problem, after all!
