= ZDD Fun ==

These programs use ZDDs (zero-suppressed binary decision diagrams) to solve
logic puzzles. See Knuth, "The Art of Computer Programming", Volume 4,
Fascicle 1, which I partly summarized:

Build with make.

|===========================================
|       Puzzle  |  Sample Input  |  Source
|===========================================
|     Dominosa  |  dominosa.txt  |   dom.c
|    Fillomino  | fillomino.txt  |  fill.c
|   Lights Out  |     light.txt  | light.c
| Slither Link  |   slither.txt  |  loop.c
|     Nonogram  |  nonogram.txt  |  nono.c
|===========================================

All programs read a puzzle from standard input then print the solution on
standard output.

The file spi.txt is a Slither Link puzzle I used loop.c to construct. Try
solving it by hand first.

Standard Sudokus are too big to be efficiently solvable by ZDDs. I found
out the hard way: see sud.c.

I began a Nurikabe solver but I have since been distracted.
