This means `zenkai` can most likely solve any sudoku you can think of, even with rules beyond the standard sudoku rules.\n\n### Sudoku files\n`zenkai` expects sudokus to be defined in a `json` file. The root object MUST HAVE a field `name` with its value being the sudoku grid string (a 81 character string, where the i-th character encodes the i-th digit in the sudoku, 0 encodes an empty cell).\nFurthermore, the root object MAY HAVE a `rules` field with its value being an array of objects. Each of those objects encodes an instance of a custom sudoku rule (e.g. a thermometer) by specifying a `name` field with the value being the name of the custom rule and optionally (if needed) a `data` field which can be a generic json object. This `data` object will be translated by `zenkai` from `json` to `lua`. The behaviour for said custom rules are defined by `\u003cname\u003e.lua` script files inside `zenkai`'s `rules` directory.\nFor more details on how behaviour for custom rules can be defined, check the `rules` subdirectory in this repository.\n\n***\n\n## Installing\nRun the following command inside the root directory of this repository:\n```bash\nmake install\n```\nThis will install the `zenkai` binary and the `rule` scripts, found in the `rules` subdirectory.\n\n***\n\n## Usage\n```bash\nzenkai \u003csudoku\u003e...\n```\nwhere sudoku is a filepath to a `json` file that encodes the sudoku alongside the custom rules for the sudoku, if needed.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnoxmor%2Fzenkai","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnoxmor%2Fzenkai","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnoxmor%2Fzenkai/lists"}
