In 2006, I wrote a Fortran program which can generate sudokus and solve them, with random strategies. But it was written in French for a student project. And the code was never modernized.
If someone is interested I could put it online. But I have no time to rework it fully…
Voici la grille de départ :
0 4 0 | 0 0 0 | 3 0 8
0 0 0 | 7 4 0 | 2 0 0
0 0 9 | 0 1 8 | 0 0 0
------+-------+------
0 7 0 | 0 0 0 | 9 0 0
8 0 0 | 3 0 5 | 0 6 0
0 0 0 | 0 8 7 | 0 5 3
------+-------+------
0 0 0 | 0 7 0 | 0 0 4
0 0 3 | 8 0 0 | 0 0 9
2 0 0 | 0 0 0 | 0 0 0
Voici la grille résolue (validité vérifiée) :
1 4 2 | 5 9 6 | 3 7 8
5 8 6 | 7 4 3 | 2 9 1
7 3 9 | 2 1 8 | 6 4 5
------+-------+------
3 7 5 | 1 6 4 | 9 8 2
8 9 1 | 3 2 5 | 4 6 7
6 2 4 | 9 8 7 | 1 5 3
------+-------+------
9 1 8 | 6 7 2 | 5 3 4
4 6 3 | 8 5 1 | 7 2 9
2 5 7 | 4 3 9 | 8 1 6
Ah, yes, so long ago. I’d have to work very hard to get it into a publishable form, and I leave home tomorrow for at least four weeks. So, sorry, no.
And vmagnin’s sudoku is, unfortunately, invalid. It has 2 solutions: the 1 and 4 in rows 5 and 6 of the solution grid can be interchanged.
