Maded for a school work and then I thought it would be great to make it public.
Lots of things are to be done but the lack of time doesn't help me to improve it more for now. I hope to do it later.
I'm waiting feedbacks about it.

RAR Download: Sudoku.rar [328KB]
ZIP Download: Sudoku.zip [412KB]
Platform: Windows
Installation: No needed, only need to run the program.

Preview:

How to use:
To start doing something, just choose New Generated Sudoku or Make Your Own Sudoku.
- New Generated Sudoku: the program will automatically generate a sudoku puzzle with dificulty choosed.
- Make Your Own Sudoku: you can place your numbers in the board.

To fill the cells with buttons you just need to use the mouse buttons. Yes, only this. Unfurtunetly this will just work with 3 buttons mouse (left,right and scroll buttons).
- Left button: Increase cell numbers. (Note that this numbers aren't yet applied in the board)
- Right button: Erase cell number.
- Middle button (scroll button): place the button in the board. (this can't be undone)

Ok, with this you can now start play it...

One more thing to tell, is that it have two features to solve the puzzle.
First is a step solve which will solve some parts of the map for you.
Second is a completly solve that will solve the entire puzzle for you.

Note that this feature doesn't solve yet hard sudoku puzzles, anyway it already solve somes, that in my opinion is great to start Smile

I hope you enjoy the program and also hope to get the time to continue this. I'm wating feedbacks Wink

Enjoy...

Hi,

be advised that the rar compression format is not used by many Windows users.

You also did not specify the platform that your program requires, nor how to install it. People involved in sudoku hate to guess, so they leave your software alone.

As a result of this, you will not receive a lot of feedback.

Ruud.
