Animated GIF for Exact Cover Visualisation

[edit]

Created this GIF of a Sudoku solver that I wrote in Javascript - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sudoku_Exact_Cover.gif, for visualising the solution by exact cover.

@MrOllie My revision is valid and cites reliable sources

[edit]

The wiki is created by Andrew Stuart, a published author in Sudokus. And the video by Simon Anthony, former UK team member World Sudoku championships. They are very reliable and verifiable sources.  Preceding unsigned comment added by PedroContipelli (talkcontribs) 20:16, 3 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Outside of very limited exceptions which do not apply here, we don't use self published sources on Wikipedia. See WP:RS for details. MrOllie (talk) 20:26, 3 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Talking around the subject of larger Sudoku puzzles

[edit]

The introduction talks about how the example methods work very quickly with 9x9 puzzles, but doesn't explain/reference larger sudokus. I feel like variants with more cells are pretty unfamiliar, so some sort of explanation of what that might look like, or at least another wiki article. Maybe Sudoku#Variations_of_grid_sizes_or_region_shapes ? Metzger411 (talk) 05:25, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
