Dr. Neau's Su Do Ku Assistant

Dr. Neau's Su Do Ku Assistant automates the more mundane tasks of solving a Su Do Ku puzzle.

This tool does not solve the puzzle for you. Instead, it helps you by:

1. Streamlining the elimination process for you. The tool can automatically eliminate possibilities based on the values you have set in cells (if you want it to...you might consider that helping you too much so you don't have to do that).

2. Ensuring you don't accidentally break the rules of the puzzle.

3. Allowing you to track values as given, unknown or different levels of guesses.

Essentially, the application is your pad of paper and your mouse is your pencil & eraser. Enter your puzzle into the tool using the wizard and start working. As you make guesses on cell values, denote whether or not it is really a guess or you a positive of that cell's value. When analyzing the possibilities for an unknown cell, you can mark off possibilities as given, certain or guess.

Cell values can have 4 states:

• Unknown (when a cell is in this state, you are presented with a 3x3 matrix of "elimination cells" to help you figure out what the value of the cell might be)

• Guess - You think the cell's value might be X. In this state, the color of the number is yellow.

• Certain - You are positive the cell's value is X. In this state, the color of the number is green.

• Given - The cell's value was given to you. In this state, the color of the number is white.

Each of the available values in an unknown cell (the 3x3 matrix within an unknown cell) can have 4 states:

• Possible - You haven't ruled this value out as a possibility. The value appears as an unpressed button.

• Guess - You don't think this value is possible. The cell for this value appears as a depressed button with the value appearing in yellow.

• Certain - You have ruled this value out as a possibility. The cell for this value appears as a depressed button with the value appearing in green.

• Given - Based on the given information, this value is not possible. The cell for this value appears as a depressed button with no value in it.
