A computer vision and automation tool that detects a Queens puzzle grid directly from the screen and solves it automatically.

Full Demo

• Detects the Queens puzzle grid in real time using OpenCV.
• Automatically extracts rows, columns, and colors from the detected grid.
• Solves the puzzle respecting its rules (one queen per row, column, and color).
• Can place queens back on the screen automatically.
• Configurable click count and delay for puzzle interaction.

1. Screen Capture
   Captures the current screen and searches for a grid-like structure using edge detection and contour analysis.

2. Grid Detection
   Uses Hough Transform to find horizontal and vertical lines. Merges close lines to determine the rows and columns of the puzzle.

3. Color Matrix Extraction
   Creates a matrix representing the color of each cell by sampling its center.

4. Puzzle Solving
   Runs the solver algorithm to find a valid queen placement based on the detected grid.

5. Automated Interaction
   Clicks on the cells to place queens on the screen using the configured delay and number of clicks.

1. Launch the program.
2. Open the Queens puzzle on your screen.
3. Press ENTER to start solving.
4. Press END to exit.

The program will:

• Detect the puzzle grid.
• Print the detected grid size and color matrix.
• Solve the puzzle and display the time taken.

You can adjust the following defines in entry_point.cpp:

#define DELAY 0   // Delay between clicks (milliseconds)
#define CLICKS 1  // Number of clicks per cell
