Solver for Queens game

Queens Solver

Queens Solver solves "Queens" game hosted on linkedin with linear programming.

Installation

To install Queens solver, first run one of the following:

# Using pip
pip install queens-slvr

# Using uv
uv pip install queens-slvr

Then, run this to install browsers for playwright:

install-playwright-browsers

Usage

The Queens solver automatically loads the "Queens" game hosted daily. To call the solver, run:

queens-solver

The solver first loads the game, then solves it, and finally validates the solution on the hosted webpage. Positions of queens are marked by asterisks to the right of color index. An example output looks like:
