[Problem/Solver] Non-fixed piece counts #64

Closed mbrown1413 closed 4 months ago

mbrown1413 commented 8 months ago

Ability for piece counts in problems to be have a min and max count, instead of a fixed count.

I think this can fit into a cover-based solver by adding rows which cover no voxels but cover a number of the piece copies. That could also open up the door for more complex used-piece conditions in the future, such as "this piece or this piece", and "an odd number of pieces".

Remember to support importing min/max piece counts from BurrTools.
