Great work - this really is one of the finest things on the GP32. One suggestion I have that I would like to see implemented would be to have a record of stats kept - e.g proportion of puzzles completed for each difficulty and best time.

Way to go Muffinman! And once again congratulations on the GBAX's compo victory

I looked at the readme file links and still not sure how to play but this game looks cool. Can some one explain in layman terms or show a simple example on how this game is played?

Like the spotz option
On my blue+ the B button no longer puts in the pencil marks

This only seems to be a problem with the initial game - start a new game and it then works

Hi,
Seems to be working ok on mine - flu. Did you have this problem with the earlier version? If not, try deleting the gpmm\gpsudoku directory and try again. Failing that, I have no idea Has anyone else had this problem?

Sorry for pinching the spotz style - was hoping to put it in the first version, but ran out of time before the comp. It's for all those people that can't do sudoku because there's too many numbers! (like my wife...)

It's a nice idea, although I'm not sure how to implement it.

Save states make it difficult to keep the best time, especially if you go down the wrong path and need to reload from an earlier game. I tried adding an autosave every time you go into the menu that could then log the time, but it makes it a bit slow.

The problem is similar for the stats in that it would be too easy to cheat - you could start a game, save it, use the 'solve' option, turn off the GP, and reload your saved game knowing how to complete the puzzle.

I'm open to suggestions though B)

If anyone else has this problem just saving a game over the first slot cured it for me - and I got to keep all the other saves. Great job Muffinman.

allright, nice one. Liked the GBAX version a lot, so this one, too. One thing tho, that I never understood:

what's the scribblepad for? I mean, i "scribble" my numbers into the boxes, so I don't see what the scribblepad is for. Enlighten me, please.

anyways, now that you are here: congrats to your 1st place in the GBAX compo. Came rather unexpected but you still deserved it.

​

On pen+paper, I always run out of space trying to put possible numbers in the boxes, so tend to work with a bit of scrap paper. When I did the GP version, I figured that it would be difficult to use without a spare working area, hence the scribblepad.

As it happens, I don't use it much either - scribbling numbers straight into the boxes works quite well! Although it's still useful for the more complex puzzles in case you need to jot down several groups of numbers together.

Thanks for the congrats - 1st place certainly was unexpected!

Congrats on your win and thanks for the new version of sudoku - I love the colours/letters option cos, like your other half, I don't do numbers, but i'm becoming addicted to it now! B)
