@RadvylfPrograms If you have time to answer one of two KotHs, would you prefer to answer one where you are comfortable with the language or one where you are just passably comfortable? most people would trend towards the language they are most comfortable right?
Honestly KotH are such hard challenges to run. if you have a complex idea for a KotH you just end up with very few answers because it takes hours to develop even a basic bot.
@WheatWizard Its always good to come back, I might actually stay active this time lol. But ik that a lot changed with the community so it will be a bit bittersweet since a lot of the community i knew is gone
@N3buchadnezzar a bunch of things, one big one was when they removed a moderator for civically disagreeing with a rule change they were proposing There was a few other things too
i think that'll be it for me then. This place was awesome but given what they were doing and that the majority of the community i participated in is gone idk if i want to remember it like this
@hyper-neutrino its refined brute force. You take the 9 boards and check to see what ones are valid and then you go and replace the next null value on each of the valid boards so at the end you are left with every possible solution
so I already shared my code so i might as well explain. the function takes in a 9x9 array of numbers from 1 to 9 with some occasional numbers being replaced with null. The functions job is to find the first null value and return an array of 9, 9x9 boards with the numbers 1-9 replaced where the null is.
