Sudoku perl

File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 1.00

Notes:
Place the tar archive in your home directory and unzip and unpack it with the following command:

tar -xz < sudoku-perl-1.00.tar.gz   

this will create the directory sudoku in which the above files.
(on windows use a unzip program that reads tar files for instance 7-zip)

Environment
       This program needs Perl to be installed	on  the	 machine.
       The  program  was  written  on  a Linux machine using Perl
       v5.6.1.	It was ported to a Windows 95 machine having perl
       5.6.1  from  ActiveState	 and  run  from a "DOS" screen. I
       expect it to run on other windows releases  too.	  Also	I
       hope it will run on a Unix machine.

       CPAN prerequisites, if not present in your installation of
       perl the following modules from CPAN  must  be  installed:
       (CPAN -> Comprehensive Perl Archive Network)

       TERM::ANSIScreen

       for Windows are needed from CPAN, on top of this:

       Win32::Console
	      and

       Win32::Console::ANSI

 

Changes:
Updated release, minor changes and one enhancement:

If the option -d is set, the program , when solving the sudoku, does not stop at the first solution found, but tries to find other solutions up to a maximum of 10.

( solving the sudoku is invoked by entering Ctrl-x )

So the program can be used to test a given sudoku for having one solution or more. A logfile is used to store found solutions.
