An automatic solver for [Hexcells ](http://www.matthewbrowngames.com ), [Hexcells Plus ](http://www.matthewbrowngames.com ) and [Hexcells Infinite ](http://www.matthewbrowngames.com ).

The idea is to automatically parse the game state, find the next (valid) step and execute it.
*(Rinse and Repeat until everything is solved)*
##Usage
- Start HexCells Infinite *(should also work with the other Hexcell games)*
- I recommend window-mode with 1440x900 resolution (for the OCR to work best)
- Load a level
- Start HexSolver
- Press **Recapture**
- If you want to completely solve the level press **Execute (All)**
- Don't manually move your mouse until finished (press ESC to abort)
- If you just want to see the next step press **Solve** (Can take around 5-10 seconds)
##Troubleshooting
- HexSolver needs an minimum amount of orange cells to recognize the layout
- HexSolver only works when all cells are in an uniform grid (click **Calculate** to see the grid)
- Only click Recapture when the fading in effect is finished - otherwise no cells can be recognized
- If you find the (uncommon) case of two row-hint in one cell, HexSolver will fail *<sup>(sorry)</sup>*
- If HexSolver fails to solve a configuration or the OCR module fails, please send me an < u > full-resolution</ u > screenshot of the game.
##Features
- Automatic finding of game window and capturing of its graphical output
- Dynamically finding the hexagon layout
- With an custom crafted OCR module recognition of the cell values
- 3-Step solving of the current configuration (tested on the original levels and many of the generated ones)

- Finding the optimal execution path by solving the corresponding [TSP ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem )

- Automatic execution by programmatically moving the mouse
- Saving the current (captured) state as an [*.hexcells ](https://github.com/BlaXpirit/sixcells ) file
