This is a Sudoku puzzle solver built with React. The app allows users to input Sudoku puzzles, select difficulty levels (easy, medium, and hard), and automatically solve the puzzle using a backtracking algorithm. The solver steps through the puzzle, filling in numbers based on Sudoku rules, and offers speed controls for visualizing the solution process.
- Manual Puzzle Input: Input your own Sudoku puzzle by editing the board.
- Difficulty Levels: Choose between easy, medium, and hard Sudoku boards.
- Automated Solver: Use the backtracking algorithm to automatically solve the puzzle.
- Speed Controls: Adjust the speed of the solver (Instant, Slow, Medium, Fast).
- Reset & Stop: Reset the puzzle or stop the solver at any time.
- Node.js (Recommended version: 16 or higher)
- React (Create React App)
- Vite (for faster development environment)
