Queen problem

Problem

• Is it possible to put 8 chess queens on a 8x8 chess?
• if yes, is there other solutions? How many?
• is it possible on different board size (4x4, 10x10, 3x3...) to have a solution?

features

• Can place and remove queen manually
• Pretty Command line with colors (zoom your terminal !)
• Showing queen view
• true chessboard coordinate !
• Can solve the problem (backtracking)

Compilation

Note:

• Linux terminal like (with UTF-8 support) only for now (because of the colors)
• Can work on windows (I think) if you get a Linux terminal (to support ANSI colors)
• requires boost (algorithm/string)

Using cmake :)

1. mkdir build
2. cd build
3. cmake ..
4. make
5. launch: ./build/queen_problem
6. enjoy !
