Description

This Python program provides a solver for Killer Sudoku puzzles. Killer Sudoku is a variant of Sudoku that includes cages, where groups of cells must sum up to specific values, adding an additional layer of complexity to the puzzle.

Features

• Solve Killer Sudoku puzzles with ease.
• Choose between three solving algorithms: Backtracking, Backjumping, and Simulated annealing .
• Input cage configurations directly into the program.
• Get detailed information about the solved puzzle, including the placement of numbers and cage configurations.

2. Navigate to the project directory

   cd Killer-Sudoku

Usage

Input Cage Configurations

• Provide the cage configurations in the specified format (sum,cell1,cell2,...), separated by semicolons. For example:

  Enter cages (sum,cell1,cell2,...) separated by semicolon: 7,00,10;6,11,20,21;5,01,02;3,03,13;5,12,22;6,30,31;8,23,32,33

Run the Program

• Execute the Python script to solve the puzzle:

  • Backjumping

  python sudokubackjump.py

  • Backtracking

  python sudokubacktrack.py

  • Simulated Annealing

  python SimAnnealling.py

Examples

Sample input for the program:

7,00,10;6,11,20,21;5,01,02;3,03,13;5,12,22;6,30,31;8,23,32,33
