About

yet another sudoku game solver

this lib will solve sudokus, but it will not only work on "standard" 9x9 sudokus,
but also on a 4x4, 16x16, 25x25, 36x36 and 49x49 sudoku.

---

Usage

the lib pubilshes function solve, taking asking for 2 parameters:

• an input string-lteral, describing the sudoko
• a usize-number, sepcifying how much solutions should be generated (if possible)

the results will re-use the format of the input ( e.g.: borders, newlines, spaces will be kept ).
use this "alphabete" to specify the state of the cells (you can use '0' instead of '.', as well):
.123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYXZ

add yasgs into the Cargo.toml of your project

fn main() {
    println!("Solutions found:");
    for solution in yasgs::solve("34.. 12.. ...3 ....", 5) {
        // there are only 3 solutions
        println!("  {}", solution);    
    }

    let sudoku = "  6 . .  . . .  . . 1
    . 2 7  6 9 .  . . .
    . . 8  . . .  . 3 7
   
    . . .  5 . .  8 . .
    . . 5  9 . 7  1 . .

    8 9 .  . . .  7 . .
    . . .  . 8 6  9 1 .
    3 . .  . . .  . . 2
   ";
   println!("\nSudoku:\n  {}", &sudoku);
   for solution in yasgs::solve(&sudoku, 1) {
    println!("Solution:\n  {}", solution);    
    }

        let sudoku = "╔═══════════╦═══════════╦═══════════╗

   println!("\nSudoku:\n  {}", &sudoku);
   for solution in yasgs::solve(&sudoku, 1) {
    println!("Solution:\n  {}", solution);    
    }
}

will then create this output:
