In my school there's gonna be a tournament for little kids and people from school in general.
It's called Sudoku, and many of you may have already heard of it.
If not try googling it.
Anyway, I am honnored at my school because I do stuff with MMF, I've made games and stuff for the school.
Anyway, a teacher came up to me today and asked if I could do something in MMF for him.
I was tasked to make a Sudoku corrector.
I need it fast.
ok the sudoku objectives are:
From a square of 3 up to 9 little squares are the area you work on.
The game sometimes gives you some numbers to start.
The main objective is to make each vertical column and horizontal column to have only one of a kind number up to 9.
*note how there no repeated number in each horizontal or vertical column.
Now comes My question. Can I make the corrector?
now comes my next question. How can I do it?
now comes my last question. Would you help me, or tell me how to?
OK GUYS THANX A BUNCH! Please post back, or PM-me.
THANX

Isn't it just to run a fastloop through every row/column to check if there are more than one instance of a number and stuffs. Use the array object, it's ideal for this task.
I could try making some sort of tutorial later... maybe

and some other fast loops to check the 3*3 areas

What has happened to you, Phizzy? You weren't always like this...
hmmmmmmmmmm...........THATS GOOD, BUT I NEED SOMETHING DIFERENT.
I'll explain again.
I need it to solve the sudoku puzle at once, not see if it's correct.
I'd like it for us to be able to put only some numbers in it, and let the computer do the rest. Could you try it that way?
not correct, or check, but do the hole puzzle from only some displayed numbers.

I don't really know how the game works, but you can let it shuffle step-by-step before beginning, and save all shuffle events in an array. Then, when solving the puzzle, it just reverses the steps.
Yeah. I remember reading up on sudoku once, trying to figure out why such a crappu puzzle is so fucking popular all of a sudden. I remember reading about the programs written to generate them for newspapers.
I think you will not be able to make one in MMF. Certainly nobody here's going to commit the time needed to figure it out (a lot of time).
I suggest:
1- Giving up because it's going to make your anus bleed with the hardness.
2- Looking for a sudoku generator on the net. IIRC they take a while to run anyway, and one in MMF would probably take hours to finish (at runtime I mean, not making it).
3- Looking for a sudoku algorithm on the net and converting it to klik.
It should be a fairly simple Sherlock-type puzzle, in that a computer could solve it by process of elimination. Having said that, if I tried to code it I'd probably hit a brick wall, so well done.
