Reviews for Sudoku!

The game is really well made, the graphics are very nice, but there is a major problem here: Sometimes you do everything right, and when you hit the "check" button it says "incorrect" (if you want a screenshot to check just e-mail me).

I think that's happening because you wrote the game in a way that it checks if the board matches the correct one (generated in the beginning), but sometimes there are more than one anwsers. You should write a script to check if the numbers are in the correct position in a generic board, so it will work with all anwsers possible no matter the game.

Nice!

I don't get why people don't like math. Its my easiest subject and this game is a breeze for me, but when I hit check answer button sometimes, the game says it is wrong. I look it over and everything is right, so you may want to look into that.

U get a 5 :)

Zen1th responds:

hmm that sounds weird since the answers are generated before the puzzle. It might be that sometimes the puzzle is build up in such a way that two answers are possible meaning you had the other one ;). Oh well I'm not a pro and creating the game in such a way that would be impossible would require some annoying coding. Let's just hope it doesn't happen too often ^^. Anyway you have to check the ones you print out yourself so no problem there ;). Soku is safe in that point though you might wanna try getting a highscore there ;)

Very well done, though a bit lacking.

Nice work on this project!

I (also) recently discovered Sudoku. I've been playing a flash version of it on another website for a few weeks now and really enjoy it. You interpretation is nicely done, although there is definitely room for improvement.

Suko, I am unfamiliar with. I like it, but I prefer Sudoku for the challenge.

I noticed a few odd bugs in my travels. Note that I am using FlashPlayer 7 because 8 apparently does NOT want to work in Firefox 1.06. Sigh. Any how, the timer seems to count by thousands, thus making getting on the high score list nigh-impossible.

Also, I found that once a puzzle was completed, when you play again, it start with the empty completed puzzle and you have to click "new" to play a new one. That may not be a bug, but it was a bit odd.

Overall, this is quite well done. I don't see any real need to add sound effects. It's a brain puzzle, so sounds are not really needed (the other version I play I turn the sounds off anyhow). I would like to see a way to temporarily mark a space to help solve the spaces. Perhaps a "pencil" option or something like that. Otherwise it ends up requiring a lot of memorization.

Hi there.

Soku is my own implementation of sudoku for the beginners who think sudoku is a bit hard. It's fun for fast gaming it's way easier to fill. Unlike the word Sudoku the word Soku does really exist in Japanese meaning speed, so there you go ;).

The timer counting in thousands is the idea. If you look at the highscore list you'll find a lot of scores above a million meaning that's more then 1.000.000/1000 = 1.000 seconds = over 15 minutes. So it really is possible to get in the highscore list. If I can do it, why wouldn't you be able to ;).

The "new" thing you pointed out seems like a little bug. Doesn't seem nice but it won't affect the game since you can just hit "new" to regenerate the puzzle.

I thank you for your time and for writing me a usefull review.

Nice actionscript

But isn't Sudoku copyrighted by Pappocom? It's not freeware and you're giving it out for free. I'm not really into this stuff but sounds like illegal to me ;).
By the way visit sudokudotcom
(it's strange that I like the user who posted the last review found out about Sudoku from my maths teacher)

Zen1th responds:

Well I've been looking into that before submitting it and I found out that there were quite a few sudoku games circling around the internet. So like you I tried looking for the one who had the copyright so I could add it to the credits. There seemed to be quite some claiming copyright and you can never be sure around the internet, so I just chose one and put it in the credits. I don't think it'll be a problem anyway since it's not like you can't create a free word puzzle because someone has a copyright on that. If I were to sell it, then it would mean trouble :) but since I'm giving it away for free I don't think it's really illegal. People create mario games all the time eventhough it has it copyrights at nintendo.
