Sudoku Players' Forum (clone)

Can someone help me with the computer code for su-do-ku....if not the code....even the algorithm will do.....

Hi rockingroshan,

I'm not sure what you want so I'm assuming you are new to sudoku.

A sudoku puzzle is a grid of 81 cells comprising nine rows and nine columns. "Given" numbers or "clues"are provided in some of the cells with a minimum number of 17 "clues". A completed sudoku requires that every row, every column, and every 3 x 3 box contains the digits 1 through 9.

If you click on the following links you can read up the Basic Terminology and the rules of playing sudoku together with some basic hints for solving puzzles:

I hope this helps you.

I'm guessing that by 'code', rockmgroshman is asking for way to generate a Sududo grid. One that he can pencil in a puzzle to. Or perhaps one that he can copy/paste a puzzle into. Suducue
http://www.sudocue.net/download.php
is a software that will do this. You also need to download an sdk kit for it to work.
SudokuExplainer

does this as well. Although it refuses to take your word for candidates and generates its own when you paste in a puzzle.

Or perhaps 'code' means he wants a method of pasting a puzzle into the forum to ask a question about it. How bout it, rock?

thanks a lot......stumble got me correct....i need a way to generate my own sudoku grid...a grid generated from some computer algorithm....since i am unaware of the logic involved....even if i am given a hint on the logic....i can do the coding myself....
