Finding a puzzle based on known given squares

Postby Aranlyde » Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:31 pm

Good evening,
Is there any way to find if a particular pattern of givens can produce a valid Sudoku puzzle?

I have the following 23-clue pattern, and want to know if a valid board can be created from it:
Code: Select all
...|XXX|..X
...|X..|..X
XX.|...|..X
---+---+---
XX.|..X|...
...|.X.|...
...|X..|.XX
---+---+---
X..|...|.XX
X..|..X|...
X..|XXX|...

I'm also curious if there's some known algorithm that could do a search based on given locations to check for a valid puzzle.

Yes there are many puzzles with that pattern.
A 20 clue pattern might have 1M puzzles most of them minimal

Code: Select all
+---+---+---+
|...|765|..8|
|...|9..|..2|
|14.|...|..9|
+---+---+---+
|26.|..3|...|
|...|.7.|...|
|...|4..|.51|
+---+---+---+
|3..|...|.26|
|4..|..8|...|
|5..|214|...|
+---+---+---+


your pattern has 23 clues and for whatever reason ...... most of them are non minimal [have superfluos clues], and inherently easy solved with singles

puzzles are made with computor programs .... I have a program which I can put in the software section for anyone

Put the pattern into a text file, e.g. pattern.txt:
Code: Select all
...XXX..X...X....XXX......XXX...X.......X.......X...XXX......XXX....X...X..XXX...

Download the gsf program from here.
Run 'gsf.exe --help' for program options, redirecting the output to a text file is recommended.
Run this command to generate 100 unique and minimal puzzles for the given pattern:
Code: Select all
gsf.exe -n100 -gt -euniq()*(1==minimal) < pattern.txt > puzzles.txt

Sample puzzles.txt:
Hidden Text: Show
Code: Select all

Hi coloin
Can your program run on Unix / MacOS? If yes, I'm interested.
I remember using gsf's program for this purpose, but I'm unable to find it (the link in the other answer is only for Windows).

If you do find a non-Windows version of gsf's program, please let me know. Of course there are many ways to run Windows (or just Windows programs) on a Mac, but I've been too lazy and too allergic to do it. Apparently so have you. I'm still planning to do so at some point, because I'd like to test e.g. XSudo and YZF_Sudoku too. I haven't yet gathered enough motivation, even though I'm sure both programs are really good :)

Btw, if you don't want to install Windows on your own machine (even in a VM), you can always get a cloud instance and use it there if you don't mind the network lag. It's possible in both AWS and Azure (of course), for example.

I don't have enough motivations to install Windows on my Mac. I too would like to try XSudo (I tried the online version of YZF_Sudoku), but not enough to install Windows just for this purpose.

As for gsf's program, I may be wrong about using it on my Mac. I've been unable to find it. What I'm sure is, I used his sudz program (a decompressor) to generate full grids from his bands data. This was so long ago that I may be confusing the two.

the gsf c source was posted here. it compiles fine in windows, so i think a unix/mac version should not be a problem.

gsf linux

Postby eleven » Sun May 10, 2020 9:50 am

I had used the linux version of gsf's program, called sudoku-linux.i386.
But it does not work anymore on 64 bit linux, needing the 32 bit version of libbz2.so.1, which i cannot install.
If you want to try, i have attached it.

On my Mac (Catalina, 64bits), I can't even uncompress the 6 files.

Thanks, but same as you. It can't run on 64-bit only Catalina version of MacOS

Yes, that worked, thanks:

Until here OK, you turn the 6 files into one.

I tried to open it with Unarchiver and with Keka on my Mac, but both say the archive is incomplete.

I also tried unzip instead, and I get more detailed error messages:

Re: Finding a puzzle based on known given squares

I am sorry, Denis. Since i had encountered errors, when i wanted to uncompress it, i tried different things, and at the end i did not know, which one worked. (The way i thought is my normal way to unzip multiple parts of 7z-compressed data).

But it should work like R. Jamil said, though it cannot be extracted with unzip, which confused me.

So please try following:

mv ast-sudoku.2012-08-01.z02.zip ast-sudoku.2012-08-01.z02
mv ast-sudoku.2012-08-01.z01.zip ast-sudoku.2012-08-01.z01
mv ast-sudoku.2012-08-01.z03.zip ast-sudoku.2012-08-01.z03
mv ast-sudoku.2012-08-01.z04.zip ast-sudoku.2012-08-01.z04
mv ast-sudoku.2012-08-01.z05.zip ast-sudoku.2012-08-01.z05

Then ask your archiver to extract ast-sudoku.2012-08-01.zip.

I've repackaged the 6 files into a single zip file - Download from here.
It is on a free file storage web site, and it will be deleted after about 2 weeks.

file: ast-sudoku.2012-08-01.zip
