I taught myself GAMBAS over a weekend (previous VB 6 fan here and most likely showing my age - ).
Having never heard of the eight-queen puzzle, I was intrigued by the recursive method I spotted in the book Programming in Lua which is replicated on StackOverflow - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/486 ... th-edition. To get a visual of what was happening, I built a simulator which really helped. Here's a GIF of the program which is also hosted on Gitlab - https://gitlab.com/learning-gambas/eight-queen-puzzle for posterity:
UPDATE: Just thought I'd mention that I'm using GAMBAS 3.18.4 via PPA on Ubuntu 22.04.
