I am quite new to learning how to program in OpenOffice Basic.30/10/2018. By OldStd
- I changed the topic title so that I can put the word [Solved], as I have found a complete solution to the Sudoku puzzle using only the OO BASIC CALC macros.
I couldn't place a word [Solved] to the topic because [Learning to program in OpenOffice Basic] is ongoing and never ending process, Sudoku, or otherwise.
I always feel that having a pet project would make learning easier as the project forces us to dig for items that help to solve some problems at hand.
- I. Recently, a childhood classmate of mine told me he is playing Sudoku games everyday.
- I.1. I am now wondering whether I could use the OpenOffice to make some sort of [Sudoku solver] that can at least solve some easy to medium Sudoku games?
- I.1.1. Any suggestions from anyone as to what application to use: writer, calc, base, or impress?
I.1.2.What do I need to learn to start the project going?

Since then I had gone through some websites and their attached codes. However, as the codes were written in C, and the explanation done in non-English, I was unable to comprehend what is being done.
One idea did catch my attention: that of back-tracking when the application gets stuck.
I have yet to figure out how to do this back-tracking in codes.
Any further examples in back-tracking explained in English would be much appreciated.
From Ziz46's suggested site, I have downloaded Sudoku 0.5.5 extension and installed the extension, only to realise that I don't even what an extension is, and how to use the extension manager.
Zizi46 suggested a couple of sites to start me off.
