Sudoku 1.31 (for Palm OS)
Sudoku 1.31 (for Palm OS)
Play
Sudoku on the go!
Features:
- Random and manual game setup. Have Sudoku generate a random game for you, or enter games from newpapers and books, then play them later.
- Supports the 5-way rocker for selecting and editing cells.
- Supports direct keyboard editing of cells, designed for Treo computers.
- Immediately indicates illegal plays (may be turned off).
- Check function to indicate mistakes (compares your game against the solution).
- Logical solver with log to show you how games can be logically solved.
- Supports pencilling - tap in possible digits then later "set" your decision.
- Can automatically erase illegal pencilmarks.
- Pencilmarks can be selectively shown/hidden - great for figuring out complex patterns (such as Colouring), or simply seeing that single digit.
- Undetermined cells can be coloured, for manual use of the Colouring strategy.
- Save the state of a game so you can later back-up. Great for diabolical puzzles when there isn't always a logical play.
- Hint mechanism - have the game indicate a position that can be logically worked out. It can fill it in for you too (that's cheating!).
- Game timer shows how long you've been staring at your Palm's screen.
- Games can be beamed to other Palm computers.
- Games can be copied/pasted to/from the clipboard (eg to/from Memos).
- While the game is active, the auto-off timeout is lengthened to allow for more thinking time.

xico: uiui
kenweise: Could be fabulous software, but the pencil marks can barely be seen on my Treo 600. Doesn't matter if they are colored or gray. Eye strain with Sudoku is bad enough without the problems with the marks. Makes it impossible to try out the rest of the game.
gvoyager: Best on earth
Southpaw018: Perfection. Half and even a quarter the size of some other Sudoku apps, highly detailed, fully featured, and it's freeware.
PS Andrew, I want your babies.
Sylvia: It's absolutely great
olac: Great software ! Difficult to find another Sudoku's soft like that, even if you pay for it !
Works so well with the treo...I applaud!!!

Version History
v1.31 2007-7-24
- Fixed a crash saving games (one part of the saving was locking the record for writing, another part was subsequently trying to resize the record, which doesn't work when it's locked!)
- Fixed problem entering digits when setting up games with the "auto set digit" preference turned off
- Added checks before the Solve and Hint functions to check the game for mistakes, otherwise the solver algorithms will only provide more wrong answers!
- Several other fixes since 1.2 version
v1.20 2005-11-05
- Fixed bug where undo/redo history wasn't always being cleared at appropriate times
- Fixed "setup game" animation so it doesn't race away
- Redesigned the Pencil Preferences form, and moved some pencilmark-related preferences from the general Preferences form to the Pencilmark Preferences form
- Preliminary localization work - moved hard-coded strings into resource records
- Beaming just the starting digits of a game now resets the game timer for the destination machine
- Added a special message to show if "Go" is tapped on a blank grid
- Changed the highlight moving by the 5-way navigator so it no longer skips
