Sudoku Solver with Knuth's X-Algorithm | ||
# Sudo-X | ||
|
||
This Sudoku solver written in Pascal was my Matura project in 2006. | ||
|
||
It's consisting of a GUI where you can generate new Sudokus, solve them and get help if you don't know further. The Sudoku generation is achieved by using [Knuth's Algorith X](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth%27s_Algorithm_X) and backtracking. | ||
|
||
The main challenge was processing the data structure using recursive function calls. As data structure I used big arrays. This is the most pragmatic approach and not very fast because most of the fields are zeroed. A stretch goal would have been to use double-linked lists (the "dancing links" extension). | ||
