CSC270 Puzzle Final Project

This project requires groups of two.

Overview: Design and implement a puzzle generator and solver

note: I have removed the requirement to show the puzzle in Dr. Racket.

Details:

The puzzle system needs to be able to randomly generate different puzzles of one type. (For example, it could generate a different set of numbers for a sudoku puzzle each time a new puzzle was requested.) It could ask users for parameters, but not for the entire puzzle. Recommended language: C

The puzzle system also needs to offer a way to solve the puzzle. It could ask users for a solution and then verify the solution, or it could generate a valid solution to a given puzzle. Recommended language: C++

One more note: The C++ program must throw and catch one exception.

Design documents will be due before the final project is due. Design documentation includes:

• Name of your puzzle system
• Picture of an intial puzzle (on paper)
• Name and responsibilities of each module (isolated set of programs), and the language to be used.
• Detailed design of each module:
• Function contracts including input and output and purpose, plus test cases for each function that returns or changes data.
• Class UML for C++
• File layout of the file being read or written.
• User workflow
• Team member responsibilities.

If you have difficulty with reading and writing files in C, this may help: movie on binary file read and write

Removed requirement: After the puzzle is first created, it needs to be displayed on the screen. Recommended language: Dr. Racket.
