In some few hours/days im releasing my Sudoku Solver

Command : /Solve_Sudoku < 81 integers>

For those of you who want to use the service, you may retrieve the result in Table layout, Matrix (row, "\n") , XML or Image/Jpeg

cool but isn't there a possibility to actually solve them, based on calculations instead of known solutions?
I mean, the Oak Systems Sudoku has solved every puzzle i've ever put in from several books, papers etc. etc.
And maybe a GUI would be very very nice

I havent looked at the script but im sure he is finding the solution. As you can see the input has zero's which the actual answers dont. The script calculates the values to be placed in these places and puts them there.

What i mean was, (if) it's based on known solved puzzles, isn't there any service that actually solves puzzles? Stupid question maybe...

Mabbe he has written a script in php to solve the board and he just uses the plsc to get the output from it. Thats ok. But if the php itself doesnt dynamically generate the output, whats the point?

I was making something similar but in another language some time back. It wasn't all that difficult. Its just pure algorithms, thats all

Well... The solver is written in ASP/Jscript...

i have a solver written in Javascript, but because ASP is faster, i converted the script into ASP/Jscript

You talk about a GUI... but the fact is, that a 81 integer string is much faster to input then using a GUI

But it looks messier and you're gonna keep losing track... It NEEDS a gui to be honest because:

1) Thats how it's normally seen
2) I don't think it'll get used much otherwise

The differences in speed are hardly noticable for any regular user, and if you get the solver to work in just JScript, and make it work offline, it's much much, actually noticably faster, especially if the service gets used very much...
