CSudoku is a KDE-based sudoku game that offers a no-frills design for players looking for a simple and straightforward experience.
CSudoku is a command line software designed to solve the popular 9x9 versions of Sudoku using Donald Knuth's Dancing Links algorithm. Although it was created as a fun exercise in computer programming, it does its job effectively and can be used to solve Sudoku puzzles.
It's worth noting that there are many other Sudoku solving programs that are more refined and have more features than CSudoku. However, if you prefer to use a command line program to solve your puzzles, then CSudoku is worth checking out.
The installation process is relatively straightforward. You simply need to unpack the csudoku-1.0.tar.gz archive, navigate to the csudoku-1.0/src directory, and run the "make" command.
Once installed, you can use CSudoku to solve Sudoku puzzles by running the command "./sudoku < infile" where infile is an input file containing one or more 9x9 Sudokus. You can check out the file top95 to see the format of the infile, and you can even use it to test the program.
If everything is set up correctly, you should see some input and output details and at the end under "Overall Statistics," it should read: "95 out of 95 were valid, 0 has no solution(s), 95 had unique solution(s), 0 had multiple solution(s)." This means that CSudoku was able to solve all 95 Sudoku puzzles in the top95 file successfully.
In summary, if you're looking for a command line Sudoku solving program, then CSudoku is definitely worth considering. It may not have as many features as other programs, but it's effective and gets the job done.
