Sudoku Book Generator

This Python project automates the generation of sudoku puzzle books in PDF format, complete with solutions.

It utilizes code from RutledgePaulV/sudoku-generator to generate the sudoku puzzles themselves, and then formats them into pages before concatenating them into a single PDF document.

How it Works

1. The sudoku generator algorithm from RutledgePaulV's repository is utilized to generate a given amount of puzzles and solutions, storing them as text files.

2. The generated puzzles are formatted into 1800×2700px (6×9" 300 dpi) PNG images for pages.

3. The formatted puzzles and solutions are then combined into a single PDF file.

Usage

To use this sudoku book generator, you can follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/anna-st-40/sudoku-book-generator
   

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Run the Python script to generate your Sudoku book:

   python main.py
   

4. The script will ask the number of each difficulty level desired, then will generate the puzzles, pages, and final PDF. These will be in a folder in the same directory as your cloned repository, and will be named according to the time that you ran the script, according to the following convention:

   sudoku_YYYYMMDDHHMMSS

Next steps to do

• Refactor: PdfMerger is deprecated and will be removed in pypdf 5.0.0. Use PdfWriter instead.
• Change font sizes and line widths to look nicer
