I'm glad to announce a very late new release of gpe-sudoku, the popular Japanese "math" game. The code was left alone for a very long period, I have to thank Florian Boor for softly pushing me to include a patch he authored a long time ago. In these days I applied his patch (which mainly concerns a better GPE support) and added the following features:
  • Support for Maemo Chinook (tested on os2008)
  • Fixed cells generated via "generate puzzle" are now colored in red
  • gpe-sudoku asks for confirmation when trying to overwrite a modified worksheet or when quitting.

    Features list

  • Load/Save games (developers: check the XML format)
  • Random Puzzle generator using sudoku-sensei
  • Guess mode (using the G toggle button)
  • Undo moves
  • Save Checkpoint

    • Work in progress!

  • Themeing support: allow user to create/edit/apply themes customizing board background, grid and number colors

    • Planned features (v0.3)

  • Allow downloading sudoku worksheets from http://sudoku.udl.cat/gpe.html and save them automatically
  • Support openmoko platform (should be easy, it's just a matter of compiling/tweaking)
  • Statistics: time elasped, numer of cells to fill, stats on numbers (like you still need to place four 4's)

    • Downloads

  • Maemo os2008 version (v0.2)
  • Maemo IT2006 version (v0.1)

    • XML Format

    A simple XML is used to save/load sudoku worksheets. 
    <worksheet name="Name of worksheet">
   <cell value="0" idx="0" fixed="0">
   </cell>
   <cell value="5" idx="1" fixed="1">
   </cell>
   ...
   <cell value="1...9" idx="1...81" fixed="0...1">
      <guess value="1...9" />
      <guess value="1...9" />
   </cell>
   ...
   <cell value="0" idx="81" fixed="0">
</worksheet>
