This software is developed to conduct Sudoku competitions.

Purpose: This project is aimed building a software that can be used to conduct Sudoku competitions.

What is a Sudoku? Sudoku is a logic-based, number-placement puzzle. The objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called “boxes”, “blocks”, “regions”, or “sub-squares”) contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which typically has a unique solution.

What is MultiSudoku all about? MultiSudoku has a server to which the clients connect. All the clients get the same puzzle from the server. Whenever a player solves the Sudoku puzzle correctly a signal is sent to the server. The server immidiately sends a signal to the remaining clients indicating that a player has won. The winner name is displayed on the server UI as well as on the other players’ UI.

MultiSudoku works on Windows ,linux and Mac . The following are the build instructions for linux :

Remember to run the Server first and then the client

Clone the git repository

> git clone git@github.com:rasikabindoo/MultiSudoku.git 

Build the Server

> cd MultiSudoku
> cd Server
> ant -f build.xml
	This will place the jar file in the dist folder
> cd dist
> java -jar Server.jar

Build the Client

> cd MultiSudoku
> cd Sudokuclient
> ant -f build.xml
	This will place the jar file in the dist folder
> cd dist
> java -jar SudokuClient.jar

All you need to know is the IP address of the system in which the server is running. You can connect all the clients to the server and start playing!!!
