I want to do a puzzle generator that, basically, starts with an empty board and randomly inserts a number. It does this until it can solve the puzzle. Then, it presents the puzzle to the player. Depending on settings, it can also provide hints to the player because it already has the solution.

My Dad will be here for Christmas, so I could punt on the installation stuff because I can install it by hand on his laptop, but I was hoping to use this as a learning exercise. I suppose that just doing the Tk would be enough of a learning experience ...

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
