Newdoku |

Simple Sudoku solver written in Rust. Method is inspired by a method briefly outlined in a CS lecture I had that I decided to try and implement based only on my understanding from the lecture.

It is called Newdoku because I started doing this a while ago and forgot about it and decided to restart, hence "New"

Quick Start

Library

[dependencies]
newdoku = { version = "0.6", default-features = false }

use newdoku::Sudoku;

fn main() {
    let s = Sudoku::from_str(
        "xxxxxxx9xx9x7xx21xxx4x9xxxxx1xxx8xxx7xx42xxx5xx8xxxx748x1xxxx4xxxxxxxxxxxx9613xxx",
    )
    .unwrap();

    println!("{}\n\n{}", s, s.solution(0, false).unwrap());
}

See the docs for more info.

Binary

From source

$ git clone https://github.com/Piturnah/newdoku
$ cd newdoku
$ cargo run

From crates.io

$ cargo install newdoku
$ newdoku

Options

OPTIONS:
    -f, --file <FILE>    Load Sudoku from file
    -h, --help           Print help information
    -q, --quiet          No output until finished solving (faster)
    -s, --step <STEP>    Wait STEP millis between inserts [default: 0]
    -u, --uid <UID>      Load Sudoku by unique ID

When loading from a file, the parser parses any digit as a number in the sudoku. Any other character other than a newline will be parsed as an empty square.

Example sudoku: xxxxxxx9xx9x7xx21xxx4x9xxxxx1xxx8xxx7xx42xxx5xx8xxxx748x1xxxx4xxxxxxxxxxxx9613xxx
