Thanks for your comments and help. I have finished the first version of the
program, and here is a link to the code:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/672710/
It only uses the most basic of methods to solve puzzles, so even some
puzzles rated as "easy" still stump it. But it does what I set out for it to
do, and I'm proud of that. I plan to incorporate more advanced methods to
solve harder puzzles later. I learned a lot doing this. Thanks again for the
help. If you want to try it out, I'd appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
Daniel
