Another project made for fun! It uses a recursive backtracking algorithm to solve sudoku puzzles. Because JavaScript is single threaded the recursion is done in a worker thread (web worker), which communicates with the main thread. The main thread can then update the GUI and animate the recursion. Enjoy!
Download it from my github here
SudokuSolver works in modern browsers:
- Chrome 31+
- Firefox 31+
- IE 10+
- Opera 26+
- Safari 5.1+
Copy it to a web server (like wamp, xxamp etc) to run it. If you have nodeJS installed, just go to the download folder and type http-server -p 8080. Then open a browser and go to http://localhost:8080 to try the app. The http-server module can be installed with npm install -g http-server.
