    A source code of a logic game.

    after trying it for a few days, I sent it to my 10 year old nephew, and to my amazement, he solved it in about 10 minutes!

    go figure...

    Good game. I had doubts that it was possible to complete.

    Now, I can do it!

    it could use a "Start Again" button. sometimes, exit would clear things, but other times it ended the program.

    Probably the ugliest puzzle I've ever seen.

    Not good for the eyes at all. There is no need for all the "*" in the empty boxes and the colours are terrible.

    Other than that, nice work.

    So easy :P It took me one minute to solve, as there cant be more than one queen on each horizontal/vertical row the solution is obvious.

    Very fun little program though!
