Logic-puzzle solver

• Student: Darra Ricks (2013).
• Purpose: The Logic Puzzle Solver (LPS) is a web application that serves as an aid for performing the deductive reasoning necessary to solve logic puzzles and problems. This program allows the user to create a custom logic grid and deduces information based on logic clues entered by the user. Logic Puzzle Solver can solve most puzzles of standard size and structure.
• Method: LPS is implemented as a Java applet that runs in the user's browser. The user specifies the solution grid and its labels, then enters the puzzle clues. The user can either manually or automatically propagate information.
