I see your language of choice is VB.NET. Did you use Algorithm X?

Yes, I used the AlgorithmX and DLX concepts, but it would need more work to make it a really clean reusable solver. Thank you for the tutorial/playground. I’ve learned so much working through the Sudoku and Mrs. Knuth puzzles. Have you thought about creating a tutorial/playground for a reusable solver for pathfinding problems? It seems like a lot of my code for those is similar from problem to problem.

If you haven’t already, I invite you to take a look at my C++ translation. The C++ version is much more robust than my original Python version and I designed it with translatability in mind. I easily translated the C++ version to almost identical versions in Ruby, C#, Java, JavaScript, Dart and a new Python version.

No. I had some ideas I was working with, but I might be out of the tutorial/playground business for good. Tech.io made it incredibly easy to generate really nice content, but Tech.io is going away. Runnable code blocks is the key feature I am finding difficult to replicate.
