Abstract

Sudoku puzzles appear in magazines, newspapers, web pages and even books on a daily basis. In fact, millions of people around the world know how to play Sudoku. Many researchers have put a notable amount of effort to generate efficient algorithms to solve these puzzles. Some researchers showed that an algorithm to solve Sudoku games without trying a large amount of permutations does not exist. This report describes the development and implementation of a Sudoku solver using MATLAB. Furthermore, this report includes detailed descriptions of the creation of a graphical user interface and the implementation of a constraint-propagation algorithm used to complete Sudoku puzzles interactively.
