Every time the program is executed, a random, solvable board is created and the user can attempt to solve it by clicking on the cells.
Entering a number into a cell will be entered as a tentative value.
Once the the user is sure that the inputted number is the correct entry, pressing the enter key will attempt to input the number onto the board.
Correct answers will be permanently displayed while incorrect answers will be removed.
Likewise, values can be removed by pressing on the backspace or delete keys.
If at any point the player decides to solve the board, the spacebar can be pressed.
This will commence a visual that demonstrates how the backtracking algorithm
is being applied in order to solve the board.

You can also alternatively run Sudoku-GUI-Solver in Gitpod, a free online dev environment for GitHub:
If you want to run the game GUI locally on your machine then you need python installed on your machine.
python -m pip install pygame in the command prompt to install the dependency needed.
Voila that's all you need!...
Now you can just clone the repo remotely on your PC or just download the zip file of this repo wherever on your PC and then just double click on Sudoku_Game.exe
which is an executable file. This brings up the game window!
