  VisioNxN Sudoku -

This project aims to solve any sudoku of N dimension, where N is a non-prime. The project uses pygame for creating the Graphical User Interface. The project is implemented in two forms -

  • An option to load an image saved on the system or use the webcam to feed image to the program and then play the game on the system.
  • An option to use Augmented Reality and solve the sudoku by showing the puzzle to the webcam.

The project uses Dancing Links in the form of Algorithm X to find the solution of the Sudoku puzzle. Sudoku is a well known NP-Complete problem and Algorithm X is a means of implementing a form of greedy depth first search to find the appropriate solution. For more understanding on the Sudoku Algorithm, read here. For understanding the Image Processing approach, read here.

You can find the complete concept and implementations explained in detail at the following blog posts -

Installation -

1. Installing Pytorch

Find the suitable pytorch release for your system here.

Installation Image

In my case, this command was used -

pip install torch==1.6.0+cpu torchvision==0.7.0+cpu -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
2. Installing other requirements
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

or

pip install -r requirements.txt

How to play -

To play the game using GUI -

python3 main.py

To use the sudoku solver in CLI, edit the file according to the problem and run -

python3 cli_main.py

The Description file containing details about the repository. The file that you looking at right now.

requirements.txt

This file contains the respective packages needed to be installed. To install the respective packages, use -

sample.npy

This file contains the default sudoku puzzle which will get loaded incase not last loaded file is found.

Fun Fact: This specific puzzle is designed to work against backtracking as a solution for sudoku and will take almost forever to solve it using backtracking.
