    M5Sudoku

    Sudoku application for M5Paper

    Can generate uniquely solveable Sudoku puzzles, targetting a given number of clues, to act as a difficulty setting.

    At any point, can validate that the puzzle is still solvable.

    Can mark squares as either a known value, or a set of possible values.

    Can save and reload current state to EEPROM.

    Will automatically shutdown and save state after 5 minutes of inactivity.

    Notes:

    • Selecting a square in the large grid will display it in the small grid on the right
    • The selected square is highlighted in the large grid
    • You can use the small grid to either set a single known value for the square, or select multiple possible values
    • It may not be possible to generate a uniquely solveable puzzle of the given numbers of clues in the time requested
    • In this situation, the puzzle with the lowest number of clues that still gives a unqiue solution will be returned
    • The fewer target clues you ask for, the longer it will take to generate the puzzle
    • The 'Validate' button will confirm that the puzzle is still uniquely solveable
    • The 'Clue' button will fill in one randon unsolved square
    • Over time the screen may get a bit muddy, due to the fast refresh option used on the EPD screen
    • The 'Validate' button will also do a full screen slow refresh, which will clean up the display


  • Hello @murraypaul

    this is very cool. Nicely done.

    When I compile it in PlatformIO I get a couple of errors. I've fixed them and made a pull-request for you to consider.

    Thanks a lot!
    Felix



  • @felmue I'll try to get PlatformIO set up and take a look, thanks,



  • @felmue I've updated the code, it should now compile with no warnings in PlatformIO.



  • Hello @murraypaul

    Thank you!

  • @murraypaul ,
    Great, thanks for sharing.



  • I've been trying to get this to compile/install using the Arduino IDE and i'm not getting anywhere... Once installed, the M5Paper just continuously reboots, flashing the screen on and off.

    Watching the serial monitor I see this repeated on each reboot... Any suggestions?


    Rebooting...
    M5EPD initializing...OK
