In this new version, the function that eliminates impossible combinations was updated. It now takes into account rows (and columns) that have already been completed.

In this new version I added a new feature to show the solving sequence.Indicating an invalid puzzle has been improved. It is now also possible to set the GUI using the "puzzle" parameter. For example:https://www.magmeister.be/binarypuzzlesolver/?puzzle=[["-","-","-","-","-","-","-","-","0","-","0","-"],["-","-","-","0","0","-","1","-","0","-","-","-"],["-","-","-","-","-","-","-","-","-","-","-","-"],["-","-","0","-","-","-","0","-","-","-","-","-"],["-","-","-","-","-","-","-","-","-","-","-","-"],["0","0","-","-","-","0","-","-","-","-","-","-"],["-","0","-","-","-","-","-","-","-","0","-","-"],["-","-","1","-","-","-","-","-","-","-","-","-"],["-","-","-","0","-","1","-","-","-","-","-","-"],["-","-","-","-","-","1","-","-","-","-","-","-"],["1","1","-","-","-","-","0","-","-","1","-","-"],["-","-","0","0","-","1","-","1","-","-","-","0"]]

I ported the JAVA v3.1 to a PHP v4.0, available here. The latest JAVA v3.1 can still be downloaded here.

I ported the Binary Puzzle Solver to Android and named it "Binairo Solver". You can find it in the Google Play Store. Have fun!

In this new version I added a tab on the GUI where the output is printed. I also fixed a bug in the validation process of the guess and validate function and did some changes to simplify the code.

Solving the hard 9x9 puzzles at http://www.sudoku-puzzles.net/en/logic-puzzles/binary made me realise I had to bring out a major update of my solver.
