Features

ScreenshotSudoku is a an addictive puzzle game originally created in France over 100 years ago. It features a 9x9 grid containing 9 3x3 grids. Within this you arrange the numbers 1 through 9. But, each number can only appear once in each of the 9 3x3 grids. And it can only appear once in each row and on each column. It's a simple concept, but it can get addictive quickly. This version features:

  • Five difficulty levels as well as customizable difficulty
  • Entry of possible solutions for empty boxes (hold down shift and a number from the standard number row, not the numeric keypad)
  • Automatic saving of your game on exit
  • "Check Game" feature to check your current work
  • "Solve Game" feature so you can see the solution to the current puzzle
  • Resizable interface, so you can make the numbers as large as you'd like

I think it's mostly display issues. Icons have a white instead of transparent background. Font selection doesn't work. Things like that.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

of the app that's been known as Sudoku Portable or is this a totally different app? It reads as though it's just a newer version of the same thing but the name was changed. Are you protecting the innocent? Color me confused!
