Dancing links is a very cute data-structure for a backtracking search, but there are a lot more aspects of writing a good Sudoku solver than just having a good data-structure for backtracking. Propagation (making deductions), heuristics, learning, parallelism, restarts, no-goods, ... While 9x9 Sudoku problems are trivial to solve for more or less any program, 25x25 Sudoku instances are quite tricky and a simple and fast but naive search for a solution can easily take hours. |
