Holes Filling

Added support for additional tiles that are used only to fill inner holes and be part of lines or loops.

Of course, more tiles means slower solving, as always.

Improved Tantrix drawing

Added display of selected tiles.

Holes and Threads

Added the ability to specify how many holes a Tantrix solution must have, including zero holes.

Improved the internal code handling for multi-threading the solving of puzzle. Now uses the processor cores more efficiently without creating hundreds of threads.

Triangle puzzles solving

Added a more efficient solver for triangle puzzles.

The any-shape puzzles are also solved 3x faster now.

Updated first release of the Tantrix™ solver application

First release of the Tantrix™ solver application.

It can solve Tantrix puzzle where the goal is to make lines or loops of a given color with a set of tiles. It is somewhat efficient: it finds all genius solution in about 2 minutes on a 8-cores processor. For puzzle with fewer tiles, it works even faster.

It can read puzzle description file and save the solutions to a text file. It also shows the solution graphically so you don't need to assemble them by hand.
