Sudoku

This is a simple project for generating and solving Sudoku puzzles, and for profiling the puzzle generator. Basically, I wanted to learn more about the Dancing Links algorithm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_Links). The puzzles are scored based on a couple of metrics defined in Paper_3485.pdf, a paper I found. In order to keep the dependency list to nil, I have successfully harnessed the awesome power of ASCII art for the Sudoku board and profile histograms.
