shakuntala-devi-trainer is an EDLA project.

The goal is to determine the day of the week for a given date.
The technic used by Shakuntala Devi is describe in her book Figuring the Joy of Numbers.

To launch the GUI
cargo run
To launch the text console version
cargo run -- --cli
If you use the console version your answer should be encoded as an integer like described in the book like so : * Sunday 0 * Monday 1 * Tuesday 2 * Wednesday 3 * Thursday 4 * Friday 5 * Saturday 6
If your answer is wrong only the text console version will give you a hint for now.
Each hint is the result of a step of Shakuntala Devi's algorithm.
You can adjust the range of the random date with two handy sliders.
