Sukaku6x6Explainer is my modifications to SudokuExplainer to solve 6x6 sudokus, with blocks of 2 rows x 3 columns.
I'm making a new thread for this after it was first released on 2 Jan, 2019: here
I've since added a Dark theme, support for blocks of 3 rows x 2 columns, variants: Latin Square and Diagonals (X), an option for bigger cell size, and a 'Save as image...' option.
Usage: here.
Download: here.

Code: Select all

.....12....3..2.......45.16.........  8 ED=1.5/1.2/1.2 2Rx3C

12.................34.....5.........  5 ED=1.5/1.2/1.2 2Rx3C, Diagonals (X)

It's a while since I looked at this program, I've recently found a problem in the last released version of SK6 (version 2022.5.11):

For this (valid) 2Rx3C 6x6 sudoku-x:

Code: Select all

1........2........3......4........5.


SK6 (using serate) rates this as ED=20.0/7.1/2.6 - this is a program error - I'll look into this and fix at a later date.

SE6 (from SudokuExplainer) correctly rates this as ED=7.1/7.1/2.6

If you disable bug technique from the list of solving techniques it rates correctly.

Yes. I did have an inkling that the problem is related to the BUG fix for variants (reported here) - the fix was applied to SK9, SE4-25, but had not been retrofitted to other/older SEs.
