Welcome to the camsudoku wiki!
CamSudoku is a small java-based pet project that uses JMF to read a USB webcam, lets the user take a snapshot image of a sudoku puzzle and then invokes a simple OCR engine to read the numbers from the puzzle and detect which ones are missing. Then it runs a simple brute-force algorithm to solve the puzzle and writes the missing numbers in the snapshot photo.
| CamSudoku was modified to solve the anagram puzzle from the Sydney Morning Herald for Atlassian’s FedEx XI – code is on the camword branch |
