Package to easily generate and/or solve any 9x9 sudoku grid

# Sudoku Manager

## Description

This package is made for easy sudoku generation and solving. Using the main Sudoku class, you'll easily be able to generate random sudokus (with a difficulty setting), load existing sudokus from different formats, and solve those sudokus. The Sudoku class has attributes dedicated to performance and backtracing, allowing you to study its behavior.

## What it contains

The module contains 3 classes:

• Sudoku: this is the main class you'll be using. It represents a sudoku grid.
• Area: An area represents either a row, a column, or a square in a sudoku grid. It contains Cell instances, and is used to easily check "which values can be written"
• Cell: A single cell in a sudoku grid. There are 81 in a 9x9 sudoku, and each Cell is associated with 3 Area instances (1 row, 1 column, 1 square)

Note that :

• A Sudoku instance is made of 27 Area instances: 9 rows, 9 columns, and 9 squares
• A Sudoku instance is made of 81 Cell instances
• An Area instance is made of 9 Cell instances
• Each Cell instance is stored into 3 areas (1 row, 1 column, and 1 square)

## How it works

• To install the module, use pip install sudoku-manager
• To import the module, use import sudoku_manager
• It is likely you will only use the Sudoku class. You can import it using from sudoku_manager.sudoku import Sudoku
• To generate a sudoku: simply call the Sudoku.generate_grid() method with the correct settings. It will either output a JSON or return a grid.
• To solve a sudoku: create a Sudoku instance (either from the normal constructor or a classmethod) and use the .solve() method to solve it.
