First, you must install ortools package in this colab.

python
%pip install ortools

Hidato puzzle in Google CP Solver.

http://www.shockwave.com/gamelanding/hidato.jsp http://www.hidato.com/ ''' Puzzles start semi-filled with numbered tiles. The first and last numbers are circled. Connect the numbers together to win. Consecutive number must touch horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. '''

Compare with the following models:

Note: This model is very slow. Please see Laurent Perron's much faster (and more elegant) model: hidato_table.py .

This model was created by Hakan Kjellerstrand ([email protected]) Also see my other Google CP Solver models: http://www.hakank.org/google_or_tools/
