+       solvesudoku.sty and createsudoku.sty, and also somesudoku.tex)
+o Move the .sty files to a location where LaTeX will find them (for more
+   information on this see the FAQ).
+o Run LaTeX on somesudoku.tex to typeset a collection of puzzles, plus
+   their answers. Be aware that this will lead to a large number of small
+   *.sud and *.ans files being created.
+
+    To generate a second copy of the manual (which is already supplied as a PDF file):
+o run: latex *.dtx
+o (for an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist *.idx)
+o run: latex *.dtx
+o Print *.dvi for a hardcopy of the package manual

+\begin{document}
+\maketitle
+
+    A Sudoku puzzle consists of a 9 by 9 array of squares, some of which have
+numbers in them, the numbers ranging from 1 through 9. The problem is to
+fill in all the squares such that each row, column, and 3 by 3 box includes
+the numbers 1 through 9 with no repetitions.
+
+    This is a collection of some 54 Sudoku puzzles which I have culled
+from various places. The sources include, among others:
+the \emph{Sudoku Solver}~\cite{SSBL} website (labelled SE, SM, SH and SVH),
+\emph{The Daily Telegraph}~\cite{DT2} (labelled TG, TM, and TT),
+\emph{The Seattle Times} (labelled ST),
+and some automatically generated by the \Lpack{createsudoku}
+package~\cite{SUDOKUBUNDLE} (labelled CS).
+
+You can try solving them yourself and/or get
+LaTeX to do it for
+you. The \Lpack{solvesudoku} package~\cite{SUDOKUBUNDLE} is able to solve
+most, but not all of the puzzles. Other LaTeX packages may do better or worse.
+
+    The puzzles are presented in approximately increasing order of difficulty.
+Each source, though, has its own set of categories which don't necessarily
+agree with each other (and sometimes not within one source). I have included
+an indication of the difficulty as stated by the relevant source.
+
+The parameters for the puzzles created via \Lpack{createsudoku} are given in
+the table.

+%
+% \section{Introduction}
+%
+% In December 2005 the \emph{PracTeX Journal}~\cite{PRACTEX} set a competition 
+% about Sudoku puzzles.
+% Depending on their experience with \TeX\ contestants were asked to 
+% (a) typeset a particular puzzle, (b) typeset
+% a puzzle described in a `sudoku' file, (c) create a solver for
+% sudoku puzzles. I entered the competition with a printer and solver.
+% Following from this it was no great effort to develop a matching
+% Soduko puzzle generator.
+%
+% The packages described here have been developed completely independently
+% from Paul Abraham's \Lpack{sudoku} package~\cite{SUDOKU}, which I did
+% not see until after I had finished work on them.
+%
+% A Sudoku puzzle consists a 9 by 9 grid of cells with
+% some of the cells containing a number between 1 and 9, such as is
+% shown in \fref{fig:puz1}. The problem
+% is to place a number between 1 and 9 in each cell such that no number appears
+% more than once in each row and in each column and in each minor 3 by 3 grid.
+% The solution to the example puzzle is shown in \fref{fig:ans1}. The
+% puzzle and answer have been typeset using the \Lpack{printsudoku} package.
+%

+%
+% Among many other sources the \emph{Sudoku Solver by logic} 
+% website~\cite{SSBL} 
+% provides much information on Sudoku puzzles and their solutions,
+% as does the \emph{Sudoku Online}~\cite{SOL} website.
+%
+% A Sudoku puzzle may be represented as a simple text file consisting
+% of nine rows of numbers and dots, nine numbers and dots in each row.
+% The numbers are the clues to the puzzle and the dots represent blanks
+% in the grid. A sudoko file for the example puzzle is given in
+% \fref{fig:file1}.

+%
+%    This manual is typeset according to the conventions of the \LaTeX{}
+% \textsc{docstrip} utility which enables the automatic extraction
+% of the \LaTeX{} macro source files~\cite{COMPANION}.
+%
+% \section{Usage}
+%
+%   The bundle provides three packages; one for typesetting a puzzle, one
+% for solving a puzzle, and the third for generating a puzzle. Each package
+% requires the previous one(s).
+%
+%   A file is also provided that contains over 50 puzzles and their answers ---
+% all you have to do is run LaTeX on it, print it, and get to work on the puzzles
+% (or give them to someone else).
+%
+% \subsection{Typesetting}
+%
+% The \Lpack{printsudoku} package enables you to typeset a Sudoku
+% puzzle given in a sudoku file.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\sudoku}
+% The command \cs{sudoku}\marg{file} typesets the sudoku puzzle from the
+% sudoku file named \meta{file}.
+% For example: \\
+% \verb? \begin{center} \sudoku{puzzle1.sud} \end{center}? \\
+% The command reads only the first nine lines in the file, which must
+% contain the puzzle's description. Anything after these lines is ignored,
+% so comments, such as a title or other explanatory text, 
+% can be put at the end of the file.
+% 
+% \DescribeMacro{\cluefont}
+% Following \cs{cluefont}\marg{font} the clues are typeset using the 
+% \meta{font} font specification. The default is: \\
+% \verb?\cluefont{\Huge}?
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\cellsize}
+% The puzzle is typeset as a \LaTeX\ \Lenv{picture} and
+% \cs{cellsize}\marg{length} specifies the size of the cells in the grid.
+% To match the \cs{cluefont} the default is: \\
+% \verb?\cellsize{2.5\baselineskip}?
+%
+% Figure~\ref{fig:puz1} was set using the default \cs{cluefont} and 
+% \cs{cellsize}. On the other hand, \fref{fig:ans1} was set via:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+% \begin{figure}
+% \centering
+% \cluefont{\normalsize}\cellsize{1.5\baselineskip}
+% \sudoku{examout.ans}
+% \caption{Solution to example puzzle}\label{fig:ans1}
+% \end{figure}
+% \end{verbatim}
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\writepuzzle}
+% \DescribeMacro{\puzzlefile}
+% \DescribeMacro{\sudpuzznewline}
+% The command \cs{writepuzzle}, which takes nine required arguments each of 
+% which is a line in the puzzle, writes the puzzle to the file \cs{puzzlefile}, where the default
+% is: \\
+% \verb?\newcommand*{\puzzlefile}{puzz.sud}?
+%
+%     The nine required arguments to \cs{writepuzzle} are the lines describing 
+% a puzzle as they would appear in a sudoku file. There is an optional tenth
+% argument after the nine required arguments which you may use to write
+% a comment at the end of the file.
+% For instance, earlier I used the following
+% to write out the example puzzle to the file \file{examout.sud}:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+% \renewcommand*{\puzzlefile}{examout.sud}
+% \writepuzzle%
+% {..483..72}%
+% {.12....8.}%
+% {..52.13..}%
+% {....62.91}%
+% {7..5.9..3}%
+% {94.78....}%
+% {..39.74..}%
+% {.5....61.}%
+% {.8..469..}%
+% [Example puzzle \sudpuzznewline
+%  (anything can come after the nine puzzle lines)]
+% \end{verbatim}
+% And similarly for writing out the file with the solution.
+%
+% If you want a multiline comment, use the \cs{sudpuzznewline} macro to
+% start a new line (\verb?\\? or \cs{newline} will not work).
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Solving}
+%
+% The \Lpack{solvesudoku} package lets you use \LaTeX\ to try and solve
+% a Sudoku puzzle.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\sudokusolve}
+% The macro \cs{sudokusolve}\marg{file} attempts to find a solution to
+% the puzzle in the sudoku file \meta{file}. It uses the \Lpack{printsudoku}
+% package for typesetting the puzzle.
+%
+% It first prints the puzzle as given and then attempts to solve it.
+% The solution, or as much as was obtainable, is typeset in a smaller
+% font below the original. Here is the definition:
+% \begin{verbatim}
+% \newcommand*{\sudokusolve}[1]{%
+%   \begin{center}
+%   \sudoku{#1}
+%   \end{center}
+%   \getproblem{#1}
+%   \reduceallcells \keepreducing
+%   \writegame
+%   \noindent\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}
+%   THE ANSWER
+%   \begin{center}
+%   \cluefont{\normalsize}
+%   \cellsize{1.5\baselineskip}
+%   \sudoku{sud.out}
+%   \end{center}
+%   \end{minipage}}
+% \end{verbatim}
+% You may use the macros in \cs{sudokusolve} separately if you wish.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\getproblem}
+% \cs{getproblem}\marg{file} reads in the puzzle from the sudoku file 
+% \meta{file} and initialises the solution.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\reduceallcells}
+% \cs{reduceallcells} takes a simple-minded approach to develop a solution
+% to the puzzle.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\keepreducing}
+% If \cs{reduceallcells} does not completely solve the puzzle then
+% \cs{keepreducing} applies increasingly sophisticated solution methods,
+% which may or may not lead to a complete solution. 
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\writegame}
+% \DescribeMacro{\sudsolnfile}
+% \cs{writegame} writes out a (partially) solved puzzle to the sudoku file
+% \cs{sudsolnfile} (default \file{sud.out}). Later this is read in again 
+% by \cs{sudoku} to
+% typeset the solution.
+%
+% Here's a small example of how you might use the package. This will keep 
+% asking on the terminal for sudoku files to solve.
+% \begin{verbatim}
+%%%% solvethem.tex   Solve Sudoku files
+%%%%                 Peter Wilson
+% \documentclass{article}
+% \usepackage{solvesudoku} 
+% \newcommand*{\solvefile}[1]{\begingroup
+%   \sudokusolve{#1}%
+%   \par
+%   \vspace{\baselineskip}
+%   Number of clues = \the\numcluesctr\ and difficulty = \the\difficultyctr.
+% \endgroup}
+% \def\yesans{y}
+% \begin{document}
+% \loop
+%   \typein[\getans]{New file? y/n}
+%   \ifx\yesans\getans
+%     \typein[\sudfile]{Enter the file name}
+%     \clearpage
+%     \begin{center} \Huge \sudfile \end{center}
+%     \solvefile{\sudfile}
+% \repeat
+% \end{document}
+% \end{verbatim}
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\numcluesctr}
+% \DescribeMacro{\difficultyctr}
+% These are two \TeX\ \cs{count}s. \cs{numcluesctr} is the number of clues
+% in the initial puzzle, and \cs{difficultyctr} is a numerical indication
+% of how hard the solver had to work, but it doesn't really mean much
+% as the solver has had successes with some puzzles with a high 
+% \cs{difficultyctr} rating
+% but failed to solve some with medium values of \cs{difficultyctr}.
+%
+% \subsection{Generation}
+%
+% With the \Lpack{createsudoku} package you can get \LaTeX\ to automatically
+% generate a Sudoku puzzle. This package does require the use of Donald
+% Arseneau's \Lpack{random} code~\cite{RANDOM} for generating random numbers.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\generategrid}
+% \cs{generategrid}\oarg{file} will generate a Sudoku puzzle starting with
+% the solution given in the sudoku file \meta{file}. If the file is
+% not given then it will start from a solution provided by the package.
+%
+% The puzzle is generated by taking the solution and randomly exchanging
+% rows and columns for some (random) number of times. Then clues are
+% eliminated until
+% it is no longer soluble by \cs{sudokusolve}. The last clue that was deleted
+% is put back and then the resulting grid is presented as the puzzle.
+%
+% An initial set of clues are deleted before the solver is called. It can
+% happen that the puzzle even then is too difficult for the solver, so
+% you have to check the solution as presented is a complete one for the puzzle.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\genfile}
+% \DescribeMacro{\prevfile}
+% \DescribeMacro{\currfile}
+% The generated puzzle, and its solution, is typeset and the puzzle is 
+% also output in the sudoku file \cs{genfile}. The default is: \\
+% \verb?\newcommand*{\genfile}{gensud.sud}? \\
+% Two temporary sudoku files, \cs{prevfile} and \cs{currfile}, are
+% used during the generation. The defaults are: \\
+% \verb?\newcommand*{\prevfile}{genprev.sdx}? \\
+% \verb?\newcommand*{\currfile}{gencurr.sdx}? \\
+% A pre-existing version of any of these three files will be overwritten.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\setsudrandom}
+% The random number generater is initialised via a seed based on 
+% a number (the internal value of \cs{randomi}) 
+% in the range $-1 \leq$ \cs{randomi} $\leq 2147483646$.
+% If its value is -1 (set via \verb?\setsudrandom{-1}?) then the actual
+% seed will be calculated based on the time and date. For any given
+% seed the sequence of the generated random numbers is the same.
+% The value of the
+% seed is output via a \cs{typeout} if you need to repeat a generation.
+%
+%   You should not attempt to set \cs{randomi} directly but use 
+% \cs{setsudrandom}\marg{num}. 
+%
+% The default setting is: \\
+% \verb?\setsudrandom{-1}? \\
+% and as that means that the seed depends on the time and date, 
+% a new puzzle will be
+% generated each time (unless the time interval is very short). The
+% maximum number of puzzles that can be generated from one initial solution
+% is 2,147,483,646  which is the range of the random number generator.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\initialelimination}
+% The macro \cs{initialelimination} eliminates an initial set of solutions
+% from the randomized starting grid. Various predefined sets are provided 
+% and you can either provide your own definition for \cs{initialelimination}
+% or \cs{let} it to one of the predefined sets, e.g., \\
+% \verb?\let\initialelimination\elimcrossandnines?
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\elimseventeen}
+% \DescribeMacro{\elimnum}
+% \DescribeMacro{\elimcross}
+% \DescribeMacro{\elimex}
+% \DescribeMacro{\elimcrossandnines}
+% \DescribeMacro{\elimcrossandex}
+% \DescribeMacro{\elimcrossandexandnines}
+% \cs{elimseventeen} randomly eliminates 17 solutions from the grid --- 
+% apparently the solution to a puzzle can be ambiguous if two numbers
+% are completely absent.
+% \cs{elimnum}\marg{num} eliminates every solution \meta{num} 
+% (e.g. \verb?\elimnum{7}? will eliminate every 7 from the grid).
+% \cs{elimcross} eliminates all numbers from column 5 and from row 5, while
+% \cs{elimex} eliminates all numbers on the diagonals. 
+%
+% \cs{elimcrossandnines}
+% is a combination of \cs{elimcross} and \verb?\elimnum{9}?. Similarly the
+% macros \cs{elimcrossandex} and \cs{elimcrossandexandnines} are combinations
+% of some of the earlier macros.

+% \subsubsection{Binary solution sets}
+%
+% The major concern was deciding on the datastructure for the problem
+% (the value of \verb?\useknt{\s@lans\the\s@lcnta}}? for the \cs{s@lcnta} cell).
+% In the end I used a 9 digit `binary solution set' for the potential 
+% solutions for
+% each cell. ($[111111111] \leftrightarrow 123456789$ and 
+% $[101010101] \leftrightarrow 13579$). A cell
+% solution, say N, is represented as the `set' -N (e.g., a
+% potential solution 3 is represented as $[001000000]$ and the actual solution
+% 3 is represented by $[-3]$).
+%
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\initialisesuddata}
+% This sets each of the 81 cells to 111111111.

+% \subsection{Solution methods}
+%
+%
+% Three facts are used to generate a solution.
+% \begin{enumerate}
+% \item A digit must be unique within a row, a column, and a block
+%    Thus, if a solution, say N, is known for a cell, then the
+%    potential solution N must be deleted from all cells in the
+%    row, column, and block that the solved cell is in. I have
+%    called this a simple reduction. The simple reductions are repeated
+%    until there are no changes to the potential solutions.
+%
+% \item If among all the cells in a row (column, block) there is a digit
+%    that occurs only once among all the potential solutions, then that
+%    digit is the solution for its cell. I have termed this a loner.
+%    If a loner solution is found then simple reductions are repeated.
+%
+% \item If among all the cells in a row (column, block) there are two digits
+%    which occur twice only in the row, each time as a pair (e.g., 39
+%    and 39) then one or other of the two digits must be a solution for
+%    a cell in which the pairs occur. This means that the two digits in
+%    the pair cannot occur anywhere else in the row (column, block).
+%    If there are no loners then the problem is examined for pairs. If
+%    there is any change in a potential solution then the simple
+%    reduction process is applied.
+% \end{enumerate}
+%
+%    The process stops either when all 81 cells have been solved or there
+% is no change in any potential solution after going through all the above
+% reductions.
+%
+%   There are more sophisticated solution techniques that could be applied
+% but they are also increasingly difficult to code in \TeX.
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\reduceacell}
+% \cs{reduceacell} looks at the solution set for the current cell (the
+% \cs{s@lcnta} cell) and if the cell has been solved then it deletes the
+% solution digit from the row, column, and box in which the cell appears.
+% This may result in new solutions for other cells.
+%
+% Given a cell number $N$ ($0<N<82$) and, using integer arithmetic, 
+% putting $M = (N-1)/9$ then
+% \begin{itemize}
+% \item Cell number $C$ at top of column: $C = N - 9M$
+% \item Cell number $R$ at left of row:   $R = 9M + 1$
+% \item Cell number $b$ at top left of 3 by 3 box: 
+%    $B = 27(M/3) + 3((N-1-9M)/3) + 1$
+% \end{itemize}

+\begin{document}
+\maketitle
+
+    A Sudoku puzzle consists of a 9 by 9 array of squares, some of which have
+numbers in them, the numbers ranging from 1 through 9. The problem is to
+fill in all the squares such that each row, column, and 3 by 3 box includes
+the numbers 1 through 9 with no repetitions.
+
+    This is a collection of some 54 Sudoku puzzles which I have culled 
+from various places. The sources include, among others: 
+the \emph{Sudoku Solver}~\cite{SSBL} website (labelled SE, SM, SH and SVH),
+\emph{The Daily Telegraph}~\cite{DT2} (labelled TG, TM, and TT),
+\emph{The Seattle Times} (labelled ST),
+and some automatically generated by the \Lpack{createsudoku}
+package~\cite{SUDOKUBUNDLE} (labelled CS). 
+
+You can try solving them yourself and/or get
+LaTeX to do it for
+you. The \Lpack{solvesudoku} package~\cite{SUDOKUBUNDLE} is able to solve
+most, but not all of the puzzles. Other LaTeX packages may do better or worse.
+
+    The puzzles are presented in approximately increasing order of difficulty.
+Each source, though, has its own set of categories which don't necessarily
+agree with each other (and sometimes not within one source). I have included
+an indication of the difficulty as stated by the relevant source.
+
+The parameters for the puzzles created via \Lpack{createsudoku} are given in
+the table.
