In this post I want to demonstrate the power of recursive programming by programming a sudoku solver in Python. The complete sourcecode can also be downloaded here. Although I like solving Sudokus by hand, I’m far away from being a professional Sudoku solver. Usually I get the medium-ones solved, however, since I always want to… Read more A Sudoku Solver in a few Lines of Code – Or the Power of Recursive Programming
I’ve always been intrigued by the Mandelbrot set and the nice images one can render with just that simple recursive formula z=z2 + c. Back in the eighties I rendered images in 320×200 pixels on my Commodore 64, then on my Amiga 500, later on a Macintosh and finally on my subsequent PCs. Where I… Read more Fun with Mandelbrot
Since the 8×8 LED Matrix Display I used in my marquee project is able to display 8×8 pixel sized letters and I am a great fan of the old Commodore 64 I designed the the font according to the C64 charset visible here: Based on the hardware reference provided here you can get the information… Read more Font Design for Raspberry Marquee Project
Some time ago I organized a cubing-event in the quarter and presented the ‘algorithms’ – how move-sequences are called in the cuber-scene – to solve the rubik’s cube using the corners first method based on information provided by Victor Ortega. Here I present the material I developed in order to teach the people this method.… Read more Solving the Rubik’s Cube using corners first method
