It's been a lot longer than I had planed since my last post.
I have made steps towards a neural network for solving sudoku, but I hit a snag when I came to generating test sudoku on the fly, then I got distracted with other AI research I'm doing and updating my website and stuff going on in my non-digital life.
I haven't got beyond my snag, so I have no real update, other than to say I have created a simple class for single layer neural networks
My other AI research has lead me to investigate Information Theory. I'm finding it very complicated so far, not having a degree in mathematics, but I'm sure I'll figure it out in time.
For now, you'll have to wait, while I decide if I should use canned sudoku grids or work to finish my generator.
