Golang takuzu library
This repository contains a Go library package that provides functions to solve, build or validate takuzu puzzles.
- Mercurial repository: https://hg.lilotux.net/golang/mikael/takuzu/
- Github mirror: https://github.com/McKael/takuzu/
Please read the godoc documentation for details.
This project also contains a command line utility, named gotak, to solve or
generate puzzles.
I haven't written the tool documentation yet.
To build the gotak CLI utility, you can use the following command (with Go 1.8+):
go get github.com/McKael/takuzu/gotak
(If you use the Mercurial repository, you have to update the import path manually.)
Pre-built binaries are available on the Github Release page.
The utility was written for personal use and is not very user-friendly, but it should be reasonably efficient (I've been able to generate boards up to 50x50). Here are a few examples to get started:
Build new 6x6 puzzle:
% gotak --new 6
. . . . . .
0 . . . . 0
. . 1 . . .
. . . . 1 .
1 . 0 0 . .
1 . . . . .
Solve the board:
% gotak --board ......0....0..1.......1.1.00..1.....
. . . . . .
0 . . . . 0
. . 1 . . .
. . . . 1 .
1 . 0 0 . .
1 . . . . .
0 1 1 0 0 1
0 1 0 1 1 0
1 0 1 1 0 0
0 0 1 0 1 1
1 1 0 0 1 0
1 0 0 1 0 1
(You can get the board string with the --out flag when generating new puzzles.)
Create a PDF with a takuzu puzzle:
% gotak --new 10 --to-pdf /tmp/takuzu.pdf
This library is used by GotakJS, an online takuzu puzzle game, written in Go using GopherJS. (On mobile, works best with Chrome. On a computer, I've tested it with both Firefox and Chrome.)
