Digital Sudoku

This small game is quite an challenge. Try to solve the puzzle, by filling the 9x9 grid with numbers.

Here's a small help from wikipedia:
Quote: "
"The aim of the puzzle is to enter a numeral from 1 through 9 in each cell of a grid, most frequently a 9×9 grid made up of 3×3 subgrids (called "regions"), starting with various numerals given in some cells (the "givens")." - Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudoku)
"


Basicly, you may only use the numbers 1 to 9 once in every row, every column and every region.

Here are some screenshots:










Digital Sudoku offers:
Endless gameplay, every sudoku is random.
4 difficulties to choose from.
Error-checking code which makes sure a random sudoku is playable.
Low-cpu usage, low-resource gameplay.
Plays in a 640x480 window.
Source code (still a bit messy) included!

The next version will offer:
Sounds.
Graphical effects and better graphics.
Screen resolution / window choices.
Total score screen (hall of fame), and a congratulations screen when finishing a sudoku.

Controls:
Left-click on a cell will increase the number
Right-click on a cell will decrease the number

Easy/normal/hard/expert button will change difficulty (press new game)
Colored/bars will change graphics for the sudoku

Press the download button and start playing

Downloading. Looks cool, just tried the game in paper recently. It's a nice little game with a good challenge.

I think you should reveal more numbers at the start of the game. At least one or two per 3x3 square for the easy setting. Going to be a tough and long game with only 2 or 3 showing at start but that would be ok for hard settings.

You beat me to it! I was planning on making a sudoku game, or at least a little program to solve the ones in the paper
I'm downloading it now, but I agree, normally there are at least one or two numbers per 3x3 square, so that it is actually possible to complete most sudokus without any guesswork.

Edit:
It's good, nice and clear and runs very smoothly. Just a few suggestions:
-More numbers to start off with please
-Maybe the ability to click in a square and then manually enter the number you want to have in that square by typing it in
-The time only seems to update when you click on it
-The score decreases even when you aren't clicking on the grid

Hope this helps - looking forward to the next update!

That's normal... the score is based on time and the amount of clicks.

But thanks for the suggestions. I will start working on the second version right now!

yes, the amount of numbers at start make this impossible to solve. good luck on improving it though!
