/*
 * Possible future solver enhancements:
 * 
 *  - There's an interesting deductive technique which makes use
 *    of topology rather than just graph theory. Each _face_ in
 *    the grid is either inside or outside the loop; you can tell
 *    that two faces are on the same side of the loop if they're
 *    separated by a LINE_NO (or, more generally, by a path
 *    crossing no LINE_UNKNOWNs and an even number of LINE_YESes),
 *    and on the opposite side of the loop if they're separated by
 *    a LINE_YES (or an odd number of LINE_YESes and no
 *    LINE_UNKNOWNs). Oh, and any face separated from the outside
 *    of the grid by a LINE_YES or a LINE_NO is on the inside or
 *    outside respectively. So if you can track this for all
 *    faces, you figure out the state of the line between a pair
 *    once their relative insideness is known.
 *     + The way I envisage this working is simply to keep an edsf
 *       of all _faces_, which indicates whether they're on
 *       opposite sides of the loop from one another. We also
 *       include a special entry in the edsf for the infinite
 *       exterior "face".
 *     + So, the simple way to do this is to just go through the
 *       edges: every time we see an edge in a state other than
 *       LINE_UNKNOWN which separates two faces that aren't in the
 *       same edsf class, we can rectify that by merging the
 *       classes. Then, conversely, an edge in LINE_UNKNOWN state
 *       which separates two faces that _are_ in the same edsf
 *       class can immediately have its state determined.
 *     + But you can go one better, if you're prepared to loop
 *       over all _pairs_ of edges. Suppose we have edges A and B,
 *       which respectively separate faces A1,A2 and B1,B2.
 *       Suppose that A,B are in the same edge-edsf class and that
 *       A1,B1 (wlog) are in the same face-edsf class; then we can
 *       immediately place A2,B2 into the same face-edsf class (as
 *       each other, not as A1 and A2) one way round or the other.
 *       And conversely again, if A1,B1 are in the same face-edsf
 *       class and so are A2,B2, then we can put A,B into the same
 *       face-edsf class.
 *        * Of course, this deduction requires a quadratic-time
 *          loop over all pairs of edges in the grid, so it should
 *          be reserved until there's nothing easier left to be
 *          done.
 * 
 *  - The generalised grid support has made me (SGT) notice a
 *    possible extension to the loop-avoidance code. When you have
 *    a path of connected edges such that no other edges at all
 *    are incident on any vertex in the middle of the path - or,
 *    alternatively, such that any such edges are already known to
 *    be LINE_NO - then you know those edges are either all
 *    LINE_YES or all LINE_NO. Hence you can mentally merge the
 *    entire path into a single long curly edge for the purposes
 *    of loop avoidance, and look directly at whether or not the
 *    extreme endpoints of the path are connected by some other
 *    route. I find this coming up fairly often when I play on the
 *    octagonal grid setting, so it might be worth implementing in
 *    the solver.
 *
 *  - (Just a speed optimisation.)  Consider some todo list queue where every
 *    time we modify something we mark it for consideration by other bits of
 *    the solver, to save iteration over things that have already been done.

     * Find loops in the grid, and determine whether the puzzle is

     *
     * Loopy is a bit more complicated than most puzzles that care
     * about loop detection. In most of them, loops are simply
     * _forbidden_; so the obviously right way to do
     * error-highlighting during play is to light up a graph edge red
     * iff it is part of a loop, which is exactly what the centralised
     * findloop.c makes easy.
     *
     * But Loopy is unusual in that you're _supposed_ to be making a
     * loop - and yet _some_ loops are not the right loop. So we need
     * to be more discriminating, by identifying loops one by one and
     * then thinking about which ones to highlight, and so findloop.c
     * isn't quite the right tool for the job in this case.
     *
     * Worse still, consider situations in which the grid contains a
     * loop and also some non-loop edges: there are some cases like
     * this in which the user's intuitive expectation would be to
     * highlight the loop (if you're only about half way through the
     * puzzle and have accidentally made a little loop in some corner
     * of the grid), and others in which they'd be more likely to
     * expect you to highlight the non-loop edges (if you've just
     * closed off a whole loop that you thought was the entire
     * solution, but forgot some disconnected edges in a corner
     * somewhere). So while it's easy enough to check whether the
     * solution is _right_, highlighting the wrong parts is a tricky
     * problem for this puzzle!
     *
     * I'd quite like, in some situations, to identify the largest
     * loop among the player's YES edges, and then light up everything
     * other than that. But finding the longest cycle in a graph is an
     * NP-complete problem (because, in particular, it must return a
     * Hamilton cycle if one exists).
     *
     * However, I think we can make the problem tractable by
     * exercising the Puzzles principle that it isn't absolutely
     * necessary to highlight _all_ errors: the key point is that by
     * the time the user has filled in the whole grid, they should
     * either have seen a completion flash, or have _some_ error
     * highlight showing them why the solution isn't right. So in
     * principle it would be *just about* good enough to highlight
     * just one error in the whole grid, if there was really no better
     * way. But we'd like to highlight as many errors as possible.
     *
     * In this case, I think the simple approach is to make use of the
     * fact that no vertex may have degree > 2, and that's really
     * simple to detect. So the plan goes like this:
     *
     *  - Form the dsf of connected components of the graph vertices.
     *
     *  - Highlight an error at any vertex with degree > 2. (It so
     *    happens that we do this by lighting up all the edges
     *    incident to that vertex, but that's an output detail.)
     *
     *  - Any component that contains such a vertex is now excluded
     *    from further consideration, because it already has a
     *    highlight.
     *
     *  - The remaining components have no vertex with degree > 2, and
     *    hence they all consist of either a simple loop, or a simple
     *    path with two endpoints.
     *
     *  - For these purposes, group together all the paths and imagine
     *    them to be a single component (because in most normal
     *    situations the player will gradually build up the solution
     *    _not_ all in one connected segment, but as lots of separate
     *    little path pieces that gradually connect to each other).
     *
     *  - After doing that, if there is exactly one (sensible)
     *    component - be it a collection of paths or a loop - then
     *    highlight no further edge errors. (The former case is normal
     *    during play, and the latter is a potentially solved puzzle.)
     *
     *  - Otherwise, find the largest of the sensible components,
     *    leave that one unhighlighted, and light the rest up in red.

 * For general grids, we consider "dlines" to be pairs of lines joined
 * at a dot.  The lines must be adjacent around the dot, so we can think of
 * a dline as being a dot+face combination.  Or, a dot+edge combination where
 * the second edge is taken to be the next clockwise edge from the dot.
 * Original loopy code didn't have this extra restriction of the lines being
 * adjacent.  From my tests with square grids, this extra restriction seems to
 * take little, if anything, away from the quality of the puzzles.
 * A dline can be uniquely identified by an edge/dot combination, given that
 * a dline-pair always goes clockwise around its common dot.  The edge/dot
 * combination can be represented by an edge/bool combination - if bool is
 * TRUE, use edge->dot1 else use edge->dot2.  So the total number of dlines is
 * exactly twice the number of edges in the grid - although the dlines
 * spanning the infinite face are not all that useful to the solver.
 * Note that, by convention, a dline goes clockwise around its common dot,
 * which means the dline goes anti-clockwise around its common face.

 * we pull events off the work queue, and hand each in turn to the solver that

 * continue to the next one.  The events are sorted first in order of solver
 * complexity (easy first) then order of insertion (oldest first).
 * Once we run out of events we loop over each permitted solver in turn
 * (easiest first) until either a deduction is made (and an event therefore
 * emerges) or no further deductions can be made (in which case we've failed).

    /* Given a set of dline atmostone/atleastone constraints, need to figure
     * out if we can deduce any further info.  For more general faces than
     * squares, this turns out to be a tricky problem.
     * The approach taken here is to define (per face) NxN matrices:
     * "maxs" and "mins".
     * The entries maxs(j,k) and mins(j,k) define the upper and lower limits
     * for the possible number of edges that are YES between positions j and k
     * going clockwise around the face.  Can think of j and k as marking dots
     * around the face (recall the labelling scheme: edge0 joins dot0 to dot1,
     * edge1 joins dot1 to dot2 etc).
     * Trivially, mins(j,j) = maxs(j,j) = 0, and we don't even bother storing
     * these.  mins(j,j+1) and maxs(j,j+1) are determined by whether edge{j}
     * is YES, NO or UNKNOWN.  mins(j,j+2) and maxs(j,j+2) are related to
     * the dline atmostone/atleastone status for edges j and j+1.
     *
     * Then we calculate the remaining entries recursively.  We definitely
     * know that
     * mins(j,k) >= { mins(j,u) + mins(u,k) } for any u between j and k.
     * This is because any valid placement of YESs between j and k must give
     * a valid placement between j and u, and also between u and k.
     * I believe it's sufficient to use just the two values of u:
     * j+1 and j+2.  Seems to work well in practice - the bounds we compute
     * are rigorous, even if they might not be best-possible.
     *
     * Once we have maxs and mins calculated, we can make inferences about
     * each dline{j,j+1} by looking at the possible complementary edge-counts
     * mins(j+2,j) and maxs(j+2,j) and comparing these with the face clue.
     * As well as dlines, we can make similar inferences about single edges.
     * For example, consider a pentagon with clue 3, and we know at most one
     * of (edge0, edge1) is YES, and at most one of (edge2, edge3) is YES.
     * We could then deduce edge4 is YES, because maxs(0,4) would be 2, so
     * that final edge would have to be YES to make the count up to 3.

     * define the largest possible face size, and base our array allocations

     * could get quite expensive if there are many large faces. */

     * guess at) the objects which intersect the rectangle; if several
     * objects need redrawing, we'll do them individually.  However, if lots
     * of objects are affected, we'll just redraw everything.
