This is a puzzle game of the "Eight Queens" written in C++ with Qt6

A multiplatform opensource QUEENs game! Under very recent development..

QtQueens Puzzle App

A graphical and interactive implementation of the classic N-Queens Puzzle using the Qt framework.

Features

🎨 Dynamic Chessboard

  • Supports dynamic resizing of the chessboard (e.g., 8x8, 4x4, etc. up to 25x25 ).
  • Automatically adjusts square sizes for any board dimension.

👑 Interactive Gameplay

  • Conflicts Check: Queens in conflict are visually highlighted in red.
  • Hint System: Helps you resolve conflicts by suggesting safe moves.

⏱️ Chronometer

  • Tracks the elapsed time from the start of the game.
  • Automatically resets when the board size is changed.

🛠️ Automated Solver

  • Solves the N-Queens puzzle for the current board size using the backtracking algorithm.
  • Animates the solving process for better visualization.

How It Works

  1. Place Queens Manually:

    • Drag queens on the board and manually find a non-conflicting arrangement.

  2. Hint Button:

    • If you are stuck, click the "Hint" button to identify conflicts and receive safe move suggestions. If there are any! MWawhawhawhw

  3. Solve Automatically:
