Logic-based Sudoku Solver UI

sudoku_ui

This is a complementary repository for the sudoku solver project.

The UI is written completely in C++ using webassembly, based on the asm-dom-cmake starter project.

All the magic relies on the asm-dom library.

If you have any questions about the code, join me for one of the streams, every Sat&Sun 14:30 CE(S)T at Youtube or Twitch.

You can test the current build in the sudoku_playground repository.

The video & audio quality improves over time and I’m continually making improvements.
