Solving Sudoku quickly using permutation generation is a challenging problem with many possibilities for optimisation. This page displays the performance of COSC329 student's assignments. To add your program please email source code to samuel@oriontransfer.org and it will be benchmarked. This competition is voluntary and does not contribute to grade. Your program source code will be kept private at all times.

How to enter

Because Tad provided the original source code that could only process one sample at a time, it is not easy to test programs with multiple samples. Therefore, for the qualifying round, all programs will be tested manually on the same ff.dat problem supplied with the assignment.

After assignment deadline, the top programs will be tested and there may be a prize for best program. Please make sure you can process the test input format otherwise you will not be eligible for the final competition.
