/* sudoku.c - sudoku game
 *
 * Writing a fun Su-Do-Ku game has turned out to be a difficult exercise.
 * The biggest difficulty is keeping the game fun - and this means allowing
 * the user to make mistakes. The game is not much fun if it prevents the
 * user from making moves, or if it informs them of an incorrect move.
 * With movement constraints, the 'game' is little more than an automated
 * solver (and no fun at all).
 *
 * Another challenge is generating good puzzles that are entertaining to
 * solve. It is certainly true that there is an art to creating good
 * Su-Do-Ku puzzles, and that good hand generated puzzles are more
 * entertaining than many computer generated puzzles - I just hope that
 * the algorithm implemented here provides fun puzzles. It is an area
 * that needs work. The puzzle classification is very simple, and could
 * also do with work. Finally, understanding the automatically generated
 * hints is sometimes more work than solving the puzzle - a better, and
 * more human friendly, mechanism is needed.
 *
 * Comments, suggestions, and contributions are always welcome - send email
 * to: mike 'at' laurasia.com.au. Note that this code assumes a single
 * threaded process, makes extensive use of global variables, and has
 * not been written to be reused in other applications. The code makes no
 * use of dynamic memory allocation, and hence, requires no heap. It should
 * also run with minimal stack space.
 *
 * This code and accompanying files have been placed into the public domain

 *                and in the same row/column cannot be any of the unknown
 *                squares in the block.
 *  - 'common'    if all possible locations for a digit in a block appear
 *                in a row or column, then that digit cannot appear outside
 *                the block in the same row or column.
 *  - 'position2' if the positions of 2 unknown digits in a block match
 *                identically in precisely 2 positions, then those 2 positions
 *                can only contain the 2 unknown digits.
