Free Sudoku - Now All Zaurus And Archos Supported
« on: December 19, 2005, 01:42:31 pm »
UPDATED!

Hi,

We've made a Sudoku game for the Zaurus - Zudoku. You can download it for free from our site - just go to www.figlabs.com. You'll need to register on our forum to download it.

There's a single IPK for all Zaurus and the Archos PMA400 media player. For 6000 models, install the font IPK that is linked in the forum post. For all 640x480 Zaurii, tap and hold the Zudoku icon and uncheck 'display with mangnified screen' otherwise you'll see it in 320x420 mode only. There's also a version for Windows, Mac and Linux desktops.

We've now added a 'pencilling in' feature to help you solve harder puzzles, and fixed a few other things.

Enjoy!

I installed it on my SL-6000.  The game starts up and shows me the Soduku grid, but every square just has a little box in it.  It's the same box I usually see when I'm missing unicode characters, so I probably need to install a font.  Which one do you use?

EDIT: it works if I switch my font set to the ones from the Japanese 6000 ROM, so I'll try and narrow down which one I'm missing.

Hi there!
Sorry about that - I don't have a 6000 to test on. I'm asking Qt for Helvetica - at various sizes. I would have thought it could translate that into some useful font - but looks like it can't.
Let me know if you narrow it down.
Cheers

That got rid of my last reason for having an Ipaq. Works well on an 860 cacko rom.

Thank you.

Great game - I'd never tried Sudoku before. I think it needs a way for me to tag a field with possible entries, kind of like the display for "Show Possible Entries", but letting me fill it in myself.

Hi

How did you get it to work on the 5500? The resolution is too big for me? Is there a 320x240 5500 Zaurus version?

Cheers
Rich

I tried it on my SL5600 and it shows the fonts right but you can only see part of the panel 6x6 instead of all 9x9.  My daughter would love to have this for the 5600 and I'd like to see it work on the 6000 if we can get the font issue worked out.

Figlabs,

Any plan to release an SL-5600 version in the near future?

- Awesome!  Registered and d/led to the Z last night ... installs and runs perfectly on a C1k.  I've not been looking forward to porting the Gnome Python Sudoku to so I could generate games on the Z.  EVERY "player" I found would only assist in solving a sudoku, none of them would generate one.  This does!
- Now I'm going to have to find something to buy from Fig Labs to thank them appropriately for such a cool gift!!  (wink)

- There are a few things that would be nice to have, but overall this is a great little game, and it's really hard to beat the price.  (snicker)

- Thanks Fig Labs!...

Same here... a BIG thanks to FigLabs for this interesting game.

Works perfectly on my C1000.
I am looking forward to Figlabs also supporting the Zaurus in terms of applications and games, and YES, I am willing to buy apps that work well on the Zaurus and are really useful.
