Guest opbyrne Posted May 10, 2005 Report Share Posted May 10, 2005 Does anyone know of any SuDoku (that number game in all the papers at the moment) game for smartphones yet? I have an SPV C500 which runs windows mobile 2003 i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sSword Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 I want this too ;) I found an SuDoku excel spreadsheet that someone made, its very basic. I have not tried it with the spreadsheat smartphone app. When I start my degree in September this was going to be one of my first smartphone games/projects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest muff Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 (edited) seems like a nice easy little app you could even go so far as to make the whole thing have a difficulty setting for the auto generator, hints etc etc you could even get it to highlight a square when the entry in it becomes invalid (i.e. 2 9's in the same row) there's probably some code already out there for this on other platforms as well Edited May 11, 2005 by muff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sSword Posted May 11, 2005 Report Share Posted May 11, 2005 (edited) http://www.sudoku.com/ has windows version of the game with many enhancements I would like to see a Smartphone version that compares to that ;) the excel version is not as enhanced, heres the link for anyone who needs it : http://www.andypope.info/fun/sudoku.htm Edited May 11, 2005 by sSword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Also found a ppc version: http://www.bunnyhug.net/bunnydoku/ Not wm2003 compatible ;) Edited May 11, 2005 by sSword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest johnch Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Found a new mobile Sudoku game that looks good and seems to have very wide support of mobiles, including older ones and Smartphones. Unlike all the other mobile games I've seen it has a puzzle generator as well, and some other cool features. Don't seem to be able to buy it yet, but it looks like the game will be available within days. Here's the site: www.qgates.com Anyone seen a copy of this yet?

I Also found a ppc version: http://www.bunnyhug.net/bunnydoku/ Not wm2003 compatible ;) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hiya, The Sudoku project kinda got put on hold over the exam period at uni, but I'll try to finish it off over the summer holiday. While it works in Java, I've only been learning C/C++ for a short time so please don't get your hopes up of stunning quality! It can generate random puzzles that work, but there's no sound mathematical logic behind it - rather, it just randomly sticks 6 or more number on the grid and attempts to solve from there. As such, it has exponential time complexity, and while it takes less than a second to spit out a new puzzle on my laptop, I have no idea what it'll be like on the Smartphone or PPC. I'll try to keep you updated. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest netbeui Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 If you have something on your phone that can manage Jar programs this Sudoku works beautifully! :) http://www.getjar.com/products/1691/SuDoku Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bryanr Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Does anyone know of any SuDoku (that number game in all the papers at the moment) game for smartphones yet? I have an SPV C500 which runs windows mobile 2003 i think. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've written a very simple Sudoku game for the Smartphone. It's been written in C# and so requires the .Net Compact Framework. I've only tested it on my Orange SPV C500. So far it can only generate fairly simple puzzles - ones that can always be solved without guessing. The way it works is that it generates a valid grid, then deletes cells at random (though symmetrically), always ensuring that at every stage there's at least one cell that has exactly one possible value. Since it's so simple, the difficulty setting doesn't make much difference. It can take a while to generate a grid, but it's normally only a few seconds. It will also try to solve any part-filled grid you supply to it. Since this could be a very long time (especially if you give it an unsolvable puzzle!), there's a user configurable timeout for solving (1, 2, 5, 10 minutes). Both C# source code and CAB files are available on my website, http://portal.bryanrobson.net/. Bryan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kept me nicely occupied on a few train / bus journeys so far. The grid generating algorithm isn't the fastest I've seen, maybe that's something that could be worked on, but otherwise it's brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just released an updated version (v0.4), which should generate the grids faster (especially on the easiest two levels). There's also a new option in the Edit sub-menu to show you its progress, which can be displayed either as numbers or asterisks on the grid. Showing the numbers as it generates is a bit of a cheat, of course, but it's interesting to watch its progress when it's solving a grid. You can also stop it mid-way through a generate or solve now.

Guest bryanr Posted August 24, 2005 Report Share Posted August 24, 2005 Any chance of a C550 version? Nice work btw :) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm suprised it doesn't work on a C550 already - does the .Net Compact Framework not come installed on it? To be honest, unless there's an emulator for the C550 then I'd not be able to make and test any changes unless I upgraded my phone, which won't be in the immediate future.

Guest onlydarksets Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 I just tried it out - very nice! The only thing it doesn't have that others do is a "guess" matrix to track possible numbers. Not a complaint - just an observation. Well done!

Guest Jamma14 Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 How about Killer Sudoku? I prefer that, been getting into it recently and it's more of a challenge than normal sudoku. (It's the one where you start with an empty grid and little numbered boxes). Anyone know of a smartphone version? I know there are lots of normal sudokus about... Or maybe a developer listening?? Someone from Astraware perhaps? Fancy doing a Killer expansion pack?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
