OK, so my employer is lending out raspberry pis for "cool" demo projects to
be completed in a couple of weeks. I was thinking of doing a Sudoku solver
in Plan 9. I have written working C code for a command line solver using
Knuth's exact cover / dancing links algorithm. Advice sought on how to
program the UI to look not totally shite. Or indeed, to exist at all. I
should say that I have yet to install Plan9 on the pi, so could be a big
ask. Any help, even abuse, will be accepted.

So, what kind of peripherals are going to be available for the UI?

Boyd thought Sudoko sucked, I wrote a limbo program that serves a webpage.

Yeah. I don't disagree with Boyd's views on Sudoku, as filtered through
Brucee. Although, I feel that Boyd would have expressed them by saying
something like "When I hear the word Sudoku, I reach for my <insert your
weapon of choice here>." However, I have the solver code, thanks to Knuth.
The UI, thanks to Andrey. And the raspberry pi implementation, thanks to
Richard Miller. So will try to put them together, with the help of a young
colleague, who grew positively enthused at Richard's video on plan9 on the
pi, having been trained on a diet of Java and Windows, and said, when I
suggested that it might be easier to do something on Linux, said, "no, we
have to use plan9".

In answer to Lucio, peripherals are keyboard, mouse, monitor.
