Hello,
I have made a console project with sudoku, but I am having problems when executing it. Basically, the program is one big loop, where the user gets to choose to access menus and menu options. Sometimes when I choose the option to go out of one loop, the program might not recognize the same options if I return to the same loop. I'm also having problems displaying the solution to the puzzle. I'm not generating a random puzzle; rather, for each level, I'm using pre-determined puzzles that will be displayed at different times to the user. I have noticed that I am repeating a lot of the same code over and over, and I would like some guidance as to how it can be simplified and how it can be made to work properly. To let you know exactly what I am working with, I have a class.cpp file and class.h file that are used to build a library, class.lib. The main program is in a prog.cpp file.
Here is how the code looks like:
the class.h file:
CODE
#ifndef CLASS_H
#define CLASS_H
int const max=81;
void showMainMenu();
void showLevelMenu();
void showPuzzleMenu();
void showCustomMenu();
void showCustomMenu2();
class puzzle {
int index;
public:
int cell;
char* chart;
puzzle();
~puzzle();
void generator(int level); //provides puzzles to be solved (non-random)
void printchart();
int findnextcell(); //function to find the next empty or '0' containing cell
int checkrow(); //function to check the current row, against the same number in a single row, return 0 or 1
int checkcolumn(); //check the current column for duplicate numbers
int checkblock(); // Function to check the block for similar numbers and return 1 or 0
int check(); // Check function to return 0 or 1, integrates checking row, column, and block
int guess(); // Function to guess all the possibilities and solve the empty squares
};
#endif //CLASS_H
the class.cpp file:
CODE
#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>
#include "class.h"
using namespace std;
void showMainMenu(){
