This got me interested, so I started with what you last posted, =

implemented my own suggestions, and a bunch more, and now have the enclosed.

A few notes:

It uses a numpy-based class for storing the puzzle, including methods =

for checking for validity of the rows, columns and boxes. This =

demonstrates some of the power of numpy arrays:
   - a 2-d array is a natural way to store this puzzle
   - you can pull slices out of that array, using a view to the same =

data, for rows, columns and the boxes.

I re-did the gui to draw the grid differently. Instead of drawing =

rectangles, I draw a bunch of lines where needed. It also calculates the =

geometry in the OnSize method, then stores that for use in drawing and =

figuring out where the mouse is clicked, etc.

I have not implemented Robin's suggestion to only re-draw the part of =

the puzzle that has changed -- that is a good idea, but computers are so =

fast now that I haven't bothered.

The gui now highlights any rows, columns, or boxes that are invalid.

When you've got something you like, make sure to put it in the Wiki or =

something -- there's some good stuff here.

enjoy!

-Chris
