=== Module Description ===
This module contains a basic GUI to allow you to play randomly generated
instances of your SudokuPuzzle once you have completed the necessary parts
of the assignment. When run, instructions on how to use it are displayed
in the console.
Feel free to modify this module.

HOW TO CHANGE PUZZLE SIZE AND HOW MANY STARTING NUMBERS ARE IN THE GRID:
In play_sudoku.py you can change the two values below and rerun the file.
- N is the puzzle size - it should be either 4 or 9
- NUM_STARTING is roughly how many numbers will be in the grid to start
- you can see the make_sudoku function to see how the puzzle
gets generated using the code you wrote for DfsSolver.solve and
SudokuPuzzle.has_unique_solution!
================================================================================
HOW TO PLAY:
NEW - generate a new puzzle
CHECK - any VALUES you have entered that are CORRECT will become FIXED
HINTS ON/OFF - when ON, a tool tip menu shows what VALUES can go in a
square when you hover over it.
CLICKING A SQUARE - changes the VALUE in the square - cycling through the
possible VALUES that could go in that square each time
you click on it.
