sunshine

A simple Moonlight Window puzzle solver using exhaustive search.

Requirements

• Python 3.?
• OpenCV

How this work & Notes

• images of glyphs are generated and stored in tgscc/
  • character set: Table of General Standard Chinese Characters
  • font used: simhei.ttf
  • only non-blank glyphs are stored; characters with 0 windows are represented by Ｘ (fullwidth capital x)
• differences of input image (sliced) and glyphs in the character set are calculated, among which the character with lowest difference is taken
• initial execution of solve.py may experience prolonged runtime (possibly due to Explorer indexing 5000+ files)

Usage

• solve.py <targetImageFile>
