Project Title
React-Based Sudoku Game
Project Summary
The React-Based Sudoku Game is a web application that allows users to play Sudoku puzzles interactively in their browser. The game features a clean, responsive UI built with React, allowing users to fill numbers into a 9x9 grid, receive feedback, and track their progress. The puzzle logic checks for valid inputs and highlights mistakes in real time, making it an engaging and educational experience.
Core Features
- Interactive 9x9 Sudoku Grid: Users can click on cells and input numbers.
- Puzzle Generator: Random or pre-defined Sudoku puzzles with varying difficulty levels.
- Validation System: Highlights invalid moves or duplicate numbers in rows, columns, and boxes.
- Timer: Tracks how long the user takes to complete the puzzle.
- Reset and Hint Buttons: Restart the game or get hints to solve cells.
- Responsive Design: Works smoothly on desktop and mobile devices.
Technologies Used
- React: For building dynamic UI components like the Sudoku grid and control panel.
- React Hooks/Context: For managing state such as puzzle data, user inputs, and timer.
- CSS Modules or Tailwind CSS: For styling and responsive layout.
- LocalStorage (optional): To save game progress across sessions.
- Sudoku Solver Algorithm: Optional backend logic (or JavaScript function) to validate and auto-solve puzzles.
Learning Outcomes
- Handling complex data structures (2D arrays) in React
- Validating user input and game rules in real-time
- Managing state effectively across multiple components
- Creating clean and engaging UI with modern React practices
- Implementing logic for puzzle generation and solving
Possible Enhancements
- Add different difficulty levels (Easy, Medium, Hard)
- Include a leaderboard to track fastest completions
- Allow users to create and share custom puzzles
- Add dark mode and accessibility options
- Use animations or sound effects for better user feedback
