I put this text grid here so I can remember and copy it! I just call it the: board
- Code: Select all
c1 = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 n1 = 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
.---------.---------.---------. .---------.---------.---------.

The Verbosity (You can skip this part!)
There should be a another name for this besides DB's grids or board, but I am not sure other than "4-Grid" system? Perhaps DB-4G would be an option?
It is sudoku_board in the Python code of my biGSDK. The SDK part is for "Software Development Kit" The biG part is meant to be a recursive acronym. It is also what my friends call me. (And I hope my enemies don't call me!) My grandkids named me that because I am physically larger than their dad (my son). He is their little dad and I became the Big dad. I realized I was really not that big in the grand scheme of things!
So I changed the case to: biG Which depending on the day and circumstaces could be (you can pick your preference)
- big in God
big into Grids
berthier in Grids
Hopefully it is clear that from top-down, left to right this represents the RCN, RNC, NCR, BNS grids. In geneal DB calls these abstract spaces" . DB insists on calling the NCR grid the CNR grid even though he prefers this representation for the symmetry of its appearance. Not sure why this makes any difference as I prefer to just call it NCR!
DB also refers to these as: RC-space, RN-space, NC-space*, BN-space
DB refes to the cells as: RC-cells, RN-cells, NC-cells*, BN-cells
* again DB prefers CN vs NC
