SudoQ

dusktreader

So, I built this yawn "Sudoku":http://code.google.com/p/sudoq/ application. Mostly, the goal was to design a solver that used OpenMP parallelism. As the project got further along, however, building the front-end using Qt's Model/View paradigm got to be a great exercise for this application. Please make comments and suggestions!

looks neat

Very good use of subtle colors. Why are numbers not in the center of cells? It'd look better IMO.

@warjan
I guess I just never bothered to align the cells to the center. should be an easy enough fix. Thanks for checking it out! By the way, if you have a multi-core machine, it is fun to create a 25x25 puzzle, click solve, and watch the CPU usage hit the roof. On my dual quad-core machine a 25x25 takes about 30 seconds on average. I wouldn't recommend this if you have only a single single-core CPU!

I like the way our conversation is going. You're developer, I am designer. And it shows. Keep up the good work!

Thanks! And, yes, I am a developer primarily. I appreciate input from designers, however, because sometimes developers build GUI frontends that reflect the nature of the solution algorithm. That's often not intuitive for users.

Your .pro-file triggered some interesting messages when building with MSVC. I had not seen those before.

Thanks, those warnings and errors are now properly parsed by Qt Creator in master:-)

What errors did it trigger?

tobias.hunger

Mostly command line arguments that are not compatible with MSVC and there is some problem with an empty LIBPATH which break the build on MSVC/windows.

I have not investigated the causes of those messages, since I got distracted into fixing Qt Creator to properly parse those messages;-)
