Hi everyone, check out my new plugin JDS Sudoku. It is available at >http://www.jds.com/sudoku
The easy level blanks out anywhere between 30 to 40 entries, medium
level blanks out anywhere between 40 to 50 entries, and hard level
blanks out anywhere between 50 to 60 entries. This is done totally
randomly. Thus, solutions may not be unique.

I gave the easy one a try, got all but 2 or 4 boxes, don't remeber.
Is there some way to score the puzzle?
Is there any way to add logic, so that when you do not have any moves
left, the game will state that the Game is Over, and then display a
score.
Now, when finished, the game just sits there. Just a thought. Is there
anyway to have competition amongst players?
If you were to port this to Excalibur, you might not need to place
text on the screen.
you might be able to lay out tiles and have the player place the tiles
on the playing field. Sort of like the Scrabble game.
Just some random thoughts. This was the first time I heard of the
game, let alone played it.
BTW, my domain name ran out for my Excal BBS. I did renew it today,
but I guess it is not activated yet, because I can not log into my
BBS.
Hopefully it will be back online soon.
Nice work Justin,
Phil

A sudoku game consists of a 9x9 matrix. Each entry in the matrix can
be a number between 1 to 9. No number repeats in any row or column.
The 9x9 matrix consists of 9 small 3x3 matrices. No number should
repeat in any of these 3x3 matrices.
There is no move involved in solving a Sudoku game. You just try to
fill in the blanks with numbers between 1 and 9 while making sure no
number repeats in any row or column or any of the 9 small 3x3
matrices.
A game is solved when you have filled up all the blank entries.
Checking if the game is solved involves verifying that no number
repeats in any row or any column or any of the 9 small 3x3 matrices.
While it is straight forward to do so, it is much easier for the code
to check that for you.
There is no score. Either you complete the game or you don't.
May be a timer can be placed to score how much time one takes to
complete the game. But, then, no two games are the same. There are
several trillion possible games.
I am surprised that you had never heard of Sudoku. They come in
newspapers, magazines, also there are thousands of books consisting of
Sudoku puzzles. Look in the newspaper pages where they have
crosswords, you will find a Sudoku game there.
I tried to login to your board this morning with no success. I guess
the domain had expired. You should get it back since you have renewed
it.

I was thinking about it and posted about it Phil's board. I think it
would be a tremendous task to complete it. I am almost losing hope.
I still have to fix the code so that it looks nice in FireFox. I am
not good at all the HTML/CSS and all that. :-(

You sort the Excalibur port and I will help and do the HTML/CSS for you if you want?
