Sudoku Solver is a Java application that loads a Sudoku puzzle from a text file, solves it, and displays the solution on a simple graphical user interface.
To install this project, simply clone the repository and compile the Java files:
git clone https://github.com/user/SudokuSolver.git
cd SudokuSolver
javac *.javaTo run the Sudoku solver, use the following command:
java Sudoku
By default, the Sudoku solver will attempt to solve the puzzle specified in SudokuLab/SudokuNYT.txt.
You can create your own Sudoku puzzles by creating a new text file in the following format:
.8. .7. .9. 9.. ... ..7 ..2 ... 6..
.3. 6.4 .8. ... ... ... .7. 2.8 .5.
..4 ... 8.. 5.. ... ..2 .1. .9. .3.
Each number represents a filled square in the Sudoku puzzle. An empty square is represented by a dot (.). Each Sudoku puzzle must be a 9x9 grid. After creating your puzzle, save it with the .txt file extension in the SudokuLab directory.
To solve a puzzle from a file you created, change the filename variable in the main method of the Sudoku class to match the name of your file:
String filename = "SudokuLab/YourFileName.txt";
