20\subsection{History}
21\begin{quote}
22The name Sudoku is the Japanese abbreviation of a longer phrase, ''suuji wa dokushin ni kagiru'' meaning ''the digits must remain single''; it is a trademark of puzzle publisher Nikoli Co. Ltd in Japan.
23
24The numerals in Sudoku puzzles are used for convenience; arithmetic relationships between numerals are absolutely irrelevant. Any set of distinct symbols will do; letters, shapes, or colours may be used without altering the rules (Penny Press' Scramblets and Knight Features Syndicate's Sudoku Word both use letters). Dell Magazines, the puzzle's originator, has been using numerals for Number Place in its magazines since they first published it in 1979. Numerals are used throughout this article.
25
26The attraction of the puzzle is that the completion rules are simple, yet the line of reasoning required to reach the completion may be complex. Sudoku is recommended by some teachers as an exercise in logical reasoning. The level of difficulty of the puzzles can be selected to suit the audience. The puzzles are often available free from published sources and also may be custom-generated using software.\cite{wikipedia}

31\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{50mm}
32 \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{sudoku.eps}
33 \caption{Sample sudoku}
34\end{wrapfigure}
35The puzzle is most frequently a 9×9 grid, made up of 3×3 subgrids called ''regions'' (other terms include ''boxes'', ''blocks'', and the like when referring to the standard variation; even ''quadrant'' is sometimes used, despite this being an inaccurate term for a 9×9 grid). Some cells already contain numerals, known as ''givens'' (or sometimes as ''clues''). The goal is to fill in the empty cells, one numeral in each, so that each column, row, and region contains the numerals 1–9 exactly once. Each numeral in the solution therefore occurs only once in each of three ''directions'' or ''scopes'', hence the ''single numbers'' implied by the puzzle's name.\cite{wikipedia}
36
37\section{Problem}
38
39Not every combination of a board, is going to be succesfull and there is no algoritm who can predict whether a generated board is valid without completely solving the puzzle. So there has to be some other way to generate valid puzzles. First, there need to be a perfect solver writtento test whether a puzzle has got only one solution.
40The second way to generate a valid puzzle is by creating a completely solved valid puzzle and delete a ew spots, by checking if the puzzle still has got 1 unique solution. We are able to generate soduku's too.
41
42\newpage
43\section{Solution finding theories}
44
45There are currently 3 solutions know (by me) about solving the soduku somehow.
46
47\subsection{Marking up}
48By deleting the non-available spots at every location, the remaining possibilities will become clear, you will notice at certain points only one option will be left, so this will be the number to be filled in. As can be showed by figure \ref{marking_up}.
49
50\begin{figure}[!ht]
51\begin{center}
52 \includegraphics{marking_up.eps}
53\end{center}
54 \caption{Candidates for each empty cell have been entered. Some cells have only one candidate once obvious invalids have been excluded. Also, some mark with dots instead of numbers, simply using the position of the dot within the cell to distinguish them.\cite{wikipedia}}
55 \label{marking_up}
56\end{figure}
57
58
59\newpage
60\subsection{Scanning}
61Scanning will be a easy solution too to be used by humans, computers however need slight more code to accomplish the same result. With scanning you can "force" certain numbers into their spot. See figure \ref{scanning} for a example.
62
63\begin{figure}[!ht]
64 \begin{center}
65 \includegraphics{scanning.eps}
66 \end{center}
67 \caption{The 3×3 region in the top-left corner. The solver can eliminate all of the empty cells in the top-right corner which cannot contain a 5. This leaves only one possible cell (highlighted in green).\cite{wikipedia}}
68 \label{scanning}
69\end{figure}
70
71\newpage
72\subsection{Analysis}
73Analysis will be even more complex. It can consist many methods to logically gain a solution. There is one pointed out (and implemented). Let's pretend we have a row in which are 3 spot's still to be filled.
74
75Options to spot A: 1, 2 ,3
76Options to spot B: 2, 3
77Options to spot C: 2, 3
78
79B and C together will use number 2 and 3, so A has to be 1. It's just an other ''simple solution'', but implementing it it's a bit hard.
80\begin{figure}[!ht]

82 \includegraphics{cplusplus.eps}

85\end{figure}
86
87\section{Implementation}
88
89The solver and create program are both written in C$\stackrel{++}{}$. It uses a 2d array to impement the sudoku board and a 3d array to implement the current available choices at the board.
90
91\newpage
92\section{Creating soduku's}
93
94There are 3 main ways to create sudoku's
95\begin{enumerate}
96\item Randomizing stupid, just push for example 17 random numbers inside the sudoku and hope none of them will interference.
97\item Randoming smart, push for example 17 random numbers inside the sudoku and be sure none of them will be a violation of the structure.
98\item ''Cleaning'' first generate a complete sudoku. Then get your wiper\/cleaner and delete some numbers. This solution is a bit difficult and will use a lot of math to generate a full puzzle and you are not sure if the puzzle has got only one solution.
99\end{enumerate}
100
101\section{Experiments}
102
103\subsection{Solver}
104First we will test the solver. The website of G.~Royle\cite{gordon} has got plenty solveble 17 sudoku's. A few of them are placed at Appendix C. There is a small shell script written (Appendix B) to test the result. By trying to solve 1000 puzzles, the program managed to complete 547, the other puzzles requires some more logic implemented to solve them.
105
106
107\subsection{Generator}
108The generator will generate of puzzle of class 2 (Random and not very stupid), the solver will try to fix this puzzle. No checks for unique solutions will be made. Table below will point out the results by running the test 10000 times.
109
110\begin{center}
111\begin{tabular}{l|l|l}
112Percent sudoku filled initially & Solutions found 1st round & Solutions found 2nd round\\
113\hline
11410\% &0 &0\\
11520\% &0 &0\\
11630\% &160 &0\\
11740\% &0 &0\\
11850\% &0 &0\\
119\end{tabular}
120\end{center}
121
122
123\section{Conclusion}
124
125The solver ain't good enough yet, he should fix every puzzle and not 50\%, need to program some aditional logic. The creator isn't very good either, only 30\% will generate some solveble puzzles, It properly have something to do with the very bad random generator, the random seed if filled with the unix time in which in 100 occured process will be the same. The creator needs method 3 to be implemented to validate this assumption or a rewrite of the code.
