# Sudoku Solving Algorithm

Don't know the mathematician's name for it, but it works.

## Input Samples

You can find sample input sudokus for solving in the Sudokus folder. The files have the format of java properties files.

## Algorithm

Basically the algorithm does what everybody does when solving a sudoku, that is

1. populating all the boxes where the value is immediately evident (quicksolve). Now our Sudoku is either finished or
   has unsolved fields, each with a list of possibilities.

1.1. finished: store self in the solutions array and return.

1.2. iterate over all possibilities of all unsolved fields by instanciating new sudokuboards. Recursively start at `1.`
for each of them.

## TODO

handle multiple possible solutions.


enjoy,
