Binary sudoku is a game that can be played on any n x n board, where n is an even positive integer. Each cell in the board contains either a 1 or 0, and all cells must be filled, per the following constraints.
- Each row and column must have an equal number of
1'sand0's. - There cannot be three consecutive
1'sor0's. - Each row and column are unique.
Following these three constraints yields a single unique solution per puzzle.
The binary sudoku was build using the Mojo FPGA development board as part of a game design project spanning 8 weeks. Addressable LED strips were used as a user interface, with two colours: red and green. Each LED is covered with frosted acrylic, creating a diffused light effect.
Upon completion of the game, a relatively visually appealing colour display is shown. As I was very bored, four different light displays were created: a scrolling rainbow display, a shifting gradient display, a box colour display, and Conway's Game of Life.
