TAMS / Applets / Sudoku Solver
Summary This is the home page for my Sudoku Solver, a simple recursive brute-force solver for the well-known Sudoku puzzles. I am aware that many similar programs exist, but programming is fun, and writing a solver from scratch seemed the right way to spend a long rainy "sun"day afternoon...

Just enter your own Sudoku, or let the program create a random initial position, and then solve the puzzle yourself or watch the animation while the program searches for the solution. At the moment, the user-interface supports German and English; please contact me if you have i18n data for other languages. Note that printing might not work for applets, depending on the security settings of your browser and virtual machine.

Changes:

  • 16.06.2006: fix minor applet repaint issue
  • 15.06.2006: added printing
  • 12.06.2006: first upload
Applet Click the help button for an explanation of the user-interface and the applet functions:

Please enable Java in your browser and reload this page.

Webstart If you prefer to download the program to your own computer, and run it from there, just click on the button below:

via Java Webstart; requires JDK 1.4.2 or higher.
