3 Star Sudoku Alpha released
Hi Folks

I've uploaded the Alpha 1 version of my current project - 3 Star Sudoku - it can be downloaded from here homepage.ntlworld.com/mike.tilley/alpha_3_star_sudoku.zip

to play use the mouse, to select a number from the number column left click on it and a marker should appear to the left of the number to indicate the selection. To place selected number in the grid - left click on the square. A right click will remove the number.

You are allowed 5 hints, to get a hint left click on the hint button this will place an orange number in the grid, you will need to select the relevant number and place it in that grid square. If you click the check button then any numbers placed incorrectly in the grid will turn red. When the puzzle is finished and check is clicked if everything is correct then you will be taken to another screen.

The alpha only contains 1 puzzle for you to complete.

Please try it out and let me know what you think – also if you find any bugs.

Thanks

Mike

P.S. oh yeah forgot to mention it's windows only - sorry

 		Bahh.. I buggered it up!
Got to about 75%, then realised I had 2 9's in a square.. Duuurrr!

And to think, I've been playing Sudoku all day on the DS!

Maybe I'm all Sudoku'd out?

Nice, but could do with a "Mousewheel to switch between numbers", so I don't have to keep heading back to the left hand menu.

 		I beat it.. Took about 40 minutes or so. [If that is slow, well yeah thats because I am slow at those.] There didn't seem to be any bugs, it did run slow on my machine, but then again, I have a slow computer. It looks good though keep up the good work!

 		thanks fo rthe feedback guys.

@Jayenkai - good suggestion for the mouse wheel thing I will look into this

@garand - hmmm didn't think the check would be used that way - maybe i should put a limit on that too?

@stealth - what spec is your pc? did it run too slow? do you think i ned to look at making it run faster on older pc's?

Thanks

Mike
