Usage
import {
generateKillerSudoku,
getSeparationsFromAreas,
} from "killer-sudoku-generator";
const sudoku = generateKillerSudoku();
const { puzzle, solution, areas, difficulty } = sudoku;
const { verticalSeparations, horizontalSeparations } = getSeparationsFromAreas(areas);
Details
The function generateKillerSudoku
takes an optional parameter difficulty
which must be between easy
, hard
, medium
and expert
.
You can customize the number of cells each difficulty removes from the full solution with the overrideNumberOfCellsToRemove
function like this:
import {
generateKillerSudoku,
overrideNumberOfCellsToRemove
} from "killer-sudoku-generator";
overrideNumberOfCellsToRemove("easy", 15)
const sudoku = generateKillerSudoku("easy");
By default, the numbers of cells to remove for each difficulty are:
{
"easy": 30,
"medium": 40,
"hard": 50,
"expert": 60,
}
From experience, above 67 or 68 numbers to remove, the program begins to struggle and is a bit slow and it is possible that it can hang forever above 70.
In an upcoming version, it will just raise an error after a timeout.
