3. Special Boards Generation

Isanaki 2.6b supports custom board generation:

• Solving technique to use
• Occurrence number of solving techniques
• Difficulty level

Selecting the menu 'Sudoku | Generate Board | Special Generation', Isanaki 2.6b allows the generation of Sudoku boards according to specific criteria:




• Technique Included: the application will generate boards that use the selected technique to solve the board
• Number of Boards to Found: the application will generate as many boards as you want. Keep in mind that the higher the request, the longer the generation time ...
• Minimum Level and Maximum level: the application will generate board that fit your difficulty request
• Minimum Occurrence: the application will select only the board(s) that required the use of the specified technique the specified number of time (or higher)
• Number of Generation Attempt: Some combinaisons of generation criteria do not generate boards. This option limts the attempt number

Once the board(s) is (are) generated, you can sort the resulting table by ascending or descending order and using different criteria: board index, technical occurrence, board score (difficulty level) and clues number. Most of the 9*9 boards generated have between 22 and 28 clues.

Note that the generation of Sudoku boards is very fast (less than 50 milliseconds for 9*9 boards but can be lengthy for some 16*16 boards)
