Hi everyone! I haven't updated the game in 18 months, but I haven't abandoned it – in fact, I've been working hard on it this entire time! I just want it to be perfect, which is why it's taken so long.
This version, 0.10.0, is our biggest update yet. I've added a ton of new features!
Most importantly, this represents the complete feature set for our 1.0 release! That's right—we're targeting a version 1.0 launch this October. Moving forward, we'll be focusing entirely on thorough testing and bug fixes to deliver a polished, seamless experience.
The Play Screen
First up, an innovative feature that only exists in Rated Sudoku: the ability to select a cell and apply a technique family (e.g., apply the Hidden Set technique family to cell A3) based on the technique you've discovered. With this feature, you can play Sudoku faster than ever!
I've added a Hint feature – now if you're stuck, you can get a hint to help you progress.
I've also added Undo/Redo functionality, so you can now undo your recent moves. This helps you recover from mistakes quickly.
The Analyze Screen
A completely new screen to help you analyze puzzles and learn solving techniques! Our analyze feature supports the following technique families:
- Naked Sets (Naked Singles, Pairs, Triples, etc.)
- Hidden Sets (Hidden Singles, Pairs, Triples, etc.)
- Fish Patterns (X-Wing, Swordfish, Jellyfish, Finned Fish, Mutant Fish etc.)
- XYZ-Wing Family (XY-Wing, XYZ-Wing, etc.)
- Unique Loops (Types 1-4, Type 6, Hidden Unique Loops)
- BUG Patterns (Bivalue Universal Grave - Types 1-4)
- Chain Techniques (X-Chains, XY-Chains, Remote Pairs, Turbot Fish, AIC)
- ALS Chains (Almost Locked Set Chains and Loops)
- ALS Blossom (Almost Locked Set Blossom patterns)
- Sue de Coq
The Paint Screen
Create Sudoku images with our paint tool! Edit and paint a Sudoku board, draw links, rectangles, text, and more with ease. Show others your solving logic through visual diagrams!
Generate Puzzles
We've now added the ability to generate puzzles, giving you an infinite number of puzzles to play!
