Calcudoku is a sudoku-like game invented by Tetsuya Miyamoto (marketed | ||
under the trademarked name "KenKen"). The following is an example of a | ||
6x6 calcudoku puzzle: | ||

As in sudoku, each row and each column must contain the numbers 1 to 6 | ||
once each. Some initial values may be given. There are no sub-boxes, | ||
but groups of connected cells outlined in double-lines contain a clue | ||
in the top-left corner (e.g. "11+"). The clue consists of a target | ||
value and one of the characters +, -, * or /, indicating the type of | ||
the group: | ||
|
||
Sum: + | ||
|
||
~ The numbers in this group must add to the target value. | ||
|
||
Difference: - | ||
|
||
~ One of the numbers in this group, minus the rest, must equal the | ||
target value (the number to be subtracted from may be any of the | ||
cells). | ||
|
||
Product: * | ||
|
||
~ The numbers in this group must multiply to produce the target value. | ||
|
||
Ratio: / | ||
|
||
~ One of the numbers in this group, divided by all of the others, | ||
must equal the target value. As in a difference group, which of | ||
the cells contains the number to be divided is not specified. | ||
|
||
Numbers may be repeated within a group (so long as they're not also | ||
repeated within a row or column). Each puzzle has a unique | ||
solution. The solution to the example shown above is: | ||
|

This program, cdok, can be used to examine, print, solve and generate | ||
these puzzles. Puzzles are parsed in a "puzzle spec" format, where | ||
rows are given one per line, with cells separated by spaces. Groups | ||
are labelled with alphabetic characters, which are then used to | ||
identify cell membership. A valid puzzle spec for the example above | ||
is: | ||
|
||
J+12 F/4 5 2 E*3 E | ||
J F H+7 H I*60 I | ||
J D+12 G+28 G G I | ||
3 D K-1 K G G | ||
4 D D B+11 G A*2 | ||
C+10 C C B 4 A | ||
|
||
Puzzle specs may be terminated by a blank line. Anything following the | ||
blank line is ignored when parsing. | ||
|
||
Installation | ||
------------ | ||
|
||
To build cdok, type ``make``. Type ``make install`` to install the | ||
resulting binary. | ||
|
||
Try it out by typing ``cdok generate`` to generate a 6x6 puzzle. If | ||
your terminal supports UTF-8, use the ``-u`` flag to draw the puzzle | ||
using UTF-8 line-drawing characters. | ||
|
||
Some definitions of Calcudoku require that difference and ratio groups | ||
be limited to two cells (to avoid confusion due to the | ||
non-associativity of subtraction and division). Cdok does not impose | ||
this requirement in generated puzzles by default, but it will if you | ||
use the ``-T`` option. | ||
|
||
Type ``cdok --help`` to get a full list of options. | ||
