Hello,
Good Job!... and some tips IMHO:

1. Red color for background is too agresive. It seems a incorrect choice.
2. Right button must allow eliminate (or move) an already placed number.
3. Every cell must allow some "pencil numbers" to remember candidates.
4. Foreign languages!.

Un saludo
JOAQUIN

1.->The red color of background indicates that the position of the number is incorrect (in its vertical one, in its horizontal one or inside the subgroup of 3x3 cells).
2, 3, y 4.-> I will keep in mind the suggestions

Thank you for comments (y gracias por tus comentarios

)

Hi Z,
Some other features:

1. Save/Restore game
2. Show allowed digits in a cell (with right button).
3. Solve a cell (with right button).
4. Show time to solve (optional)
5. Establish "Hall of Fame" for best times.
6. Minimize to systray (TTCC button "That the chief comes!").
7. Button to clear must show a little eraser.
8. Difficulty levels (Novice, Expert, Master... or by number).
9. Add a icon to identify it.

Best Regards
JOAQUIN

Good effort so far zikitrake.

Another small thing to fix is when I solved the puzzle the dialog box popped up before the number i clicked on was removed - just looked a bit messy.

It is an interesting possibility for the future (When I be a Sudoku-Expert one already we will see)

Very good game

Just tried your game and were very happy to come so far, but then it kept hanging and eating all of my CPU-Power...

Maybe the Screenie will be of any help:

After FlipBuffer() put a delay(50)
that will make the CPU metter drop...

HeX0R · Post by **HeX0R** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 5:04 pm

It felt more as it would hang in an endless loop, so a Delay won't really help here
