Help With Sudoku Puzzle Generator by kheme(m): 4:01pm On Feb 21, 2009 |
hi. i'm trying to write a sudoku puzzle generator with vb.net but my algorithm seems correct, but runs out of numbers at some stages while generating the puzzle. can anyone look into ma code and see why? Public Class home i've attached screen shots, the "0" in the puzzle are the places where the algorithm runs out of numbers to put cos the next number to put cannot be placed there due to the rules of sudoku. i need help guys!

I wrote one of these in Java over a year ago. You have to use a backtracking algorithm. Set up the rules. Make the algorithm fill in the slots with random numbers line by line. When it gets stuck it should go back a random number of steps(nothing large else you get "array out of bounds"). I will try to find my code, or write it again if I can find the time. |
