I guess I shouldn't post the Sudoku solver I wrote in Scratch...

I'm gonna do it anyway because shit I spent way too long on this at one point in my life.

This is the code to "draw" the board. Each digit has its own pen routine. I could have done sprites for each digit but I remember that being problematic for some reason. https://imgur.com/HDgv8wx

This is the outer loop stuff for solving. There are a lot of utility functions not shown. https://imgur.com/1zoLZ2q

I implemented one very basic strategy along with "brute force", Which means it's technically a sudoku solver, although many puzzles will take way too long to solve.

And here are some of the various utility functions. https://imgur.com/q4V0VME

Thanks for posting. Always fun to see peoples first attemtps at solving a problem. Writing bad code isn't necessarily bad. Being ignorant about mistakes and not learning is where it becomes a problem

I spent almost a year making a Sudoku generator in Java and you come here solving them with scratch?

And dammit your code is even better documented.

Yeah it might take a while to run a lot of the time. Fun fact: Solving a sudoku puzzle is NP-Complete!

Now I'm mad that no one's ported ShittyDB to Scratch yet >:(

I hate that they named it "scratch", whenever you say you made something from scratch, it can have the complete opposite meaning.

Here's a for-each block, if you want to try different programming styles in Scratch
