brandonhawi / sudokusolver

Got bored, decided to write an algorithm to solve a Sudoku puzzle. Now it's a full fledged Flask application with a React frontend and multiple algorithms...

Sudoku Solver

What

This is a web application with a React front end and Flask back end that solves Sudoku puzzles. It also initially used SocketIO to update the client as the Sudoku puzzle but once React was implemented, SocketIO was no longer needed.

Dev Environment Setup

This repository uses pipenv to manage packages (installed using pip install pipenv).

After cloning the repository, a simple pipenv install will create a virtual environment for the application if it does not already exist and install all necessary packages.

Make sure that you use pipenv to install any new packages added to the solution.

sudokusolver's Issues

Add authentication to the application

Would be a fun project

Stochastic Evolutionary Algorithm

Spent way too much time working on the stochastic evolutionary algorithm and still can't get it to converge. Pretty sure the problem stems from the fitness algorithm being imperfect.
