Hi! This is my first attempt at creating a personal project, so I hope you enjoy it. This code includes a solver.py file that has python code that solves any Sudoku puzzle by using a backtracking technique. For more information, I would check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudoku_solving_algorithms.

At the moment, the algorithm works on the command line or any other compiler that allows users to input lines.

When you run solver.py, you will be prompted to enter each line individually. Enter in each line by typing the 9 numbers in each row of the sudoku puzzle you would like to solve in order. If the square is blank, type in a 0. After this is done, the sudoku solver will print out the board that you typed in to show the board you have inputted followed by printing out the solution to that board. If no solution is found, the solver will not print out anything. Note that due to the brute-force algorithm used, if there are multiple solutions then all possible solutions will be printed out.

In the future, I may update this repository to have a GUI or make the script a bit cleaner in it's input and how boards are printed. Until then, feel free to enjoy what is available now and look at my code!
