Any chance, please? Would love to play on the move and the other Palm versions I've found aren't a patch on this program!

Could generate grids in the registered PC version then hotsync them to the Palm so no need for a grid generator to be written for Palm if that would be difficult.

I'd also love to use this program on my Palm.

I would love to play Sudoku on my iPAQ too. Any chance of a Pocket PC version, please?

This would be great!

This would sure beat printing out copies to play on the train.

Hi,

I'd like to add my support for a pocket pc version. I've done a few long train journeys recently and had my laptop so could play to make the journey more pleasant, but I don't normally have it with me, so a version for Pocket PC (I happen to have an iPaq) would be fantastic. Please please please!!!

The windows version is great by the way, thanks!

( this is an expanded version of my earlier post to a similar question at
http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/viewtopic.php?t=25)

Sudoku v1.8 is an excellent free Palm Sudoku program.
It won't generate puzzles, but it does every thing else I can think of.
http://www.scss.com.au/family/andrew/pdas/palm/myprogs/sudoku/

Sudoku v1.8 requires PalmOS 3.0 or later, and 50 kB of RAM,
and will give you as little or as much help as you want.

You can use it as a simple board, just recording and displaying moves

- with illegal moves by you silently accepted, or
- with illegal moves highlighted when you make them

to make "pencilmark" notes of your own (tiny numbers in each square)

- with incorrect notes silently accepted, or
- with illegal notes refused, or
- have the program automatically fill in pencilmarks for legal moves

the suggestions the program makes to help you solve can be:

- none whatsoever - you are on your own, or
- ask it to show you a square that is clearly known ( but not the value)
- ask it to fill in the number for the clearly known square, or
- ask it to solve the puzzle (the solution log will show you how it did it)

As a solver, Sudoku v1.8 knows these strategies:

- basic rules (a number in a square rules it out in the row/column/box)
- Number sets (Naked Pairs, Hidden Pairs (also triples, quads, etc.))
- Box/Line Reduction
- Colouring ( superset of Remote Pairs, X-Wings, Swordfish)

Other special features:

- You can beam a puzzle to another user
- You can "save state" so you can backtrack later

Enjoy!

SInce I use an HP Pocket PC, I am interested would these Palm versions discussed here work on it? Or, do I need to post a new thread entirely?
