Subject: ksudoku: random difficulty
Date: Thu, 02 Feb 2006 01:26:17 +0100

Package: ksudoku
Version: 0.3-3
Severity: normal

when generating new sudokus, I sometimes get unexpected results. In this run, I
always generate hardest level, no symmetry, but the actually generated levels
often are not what I wanted.

Especially this one is strange: Same difficulty as normal for hardest level but
far too many values given.

Comment 1 Johannes.Bergmeier 2010-06-12 10:27:59 UTC
The component of KSudoku which was responsible for creating games at that time and which was obviosly the cause of this bug is no longer present.

The new engine (which has also some problems) was designed to make it possible to resolve this and similar problems.
