I'm working on a fast sudoku solver in fasm. It should be really fast...
Can anyone point me in the right direction for a simple user interface? I would like to input 9 rows of characters to the program from some kind of dialog box.

There is already a GUI with solver for sudoku posted to this board a few years ago. If you can't find it with the site search then I think I have the file somewhere in my backup.

BTW: Sudoku is really easy to solve with the CPU in less than a milli-second. The speed is not really an issue unless you are solving thousands of grids each second? Confused

I'm talking on the order of tens of microseconds or less for normal sudokus. It's build for speed. Some sudokus are not so easy, though. Take this one:

Code:
.......39
.....1..5
..3.5.8..
..8.9...6
.7...2...
1..4.....
..9.8..5.
.2....6..
4..7.....    


Brian Turner has a C program that solves it in about 800 microseconds, and I am wondering what kind of speed up one can get in assembly using slightly different algorithms/data structures.

by normal sudokus I mean the ones humans can be expected to solve

Also, the faster one can solve, the faster one can generate quality sudoku puzzles. The solver in the link above seems to be very slow.

Yes, it is slow, but you asked for a UI, and that is what I linked to.
