Writing a solver for Net

Read Original

The article details Simon Tatham's approach to creating a solver for the puzzle game Net. He describes starting by solving puzzles manually to understand the deductions, then modeling the process by tracking possible orientations for each piece and iteratively eliminating invalid ones through logical constraints, such as pieces adjacent to edges or locked pieces.
