OVERVIEW

The 5ud0ku Midlet is a J2ME game providing Sudoku puzzles (Number Place puzzle) for your java enabled mobile phone or PDA.

From Wikipedia's SuDoku:

'The aim of the canonical puzzle is to enter a numerical digit from 1 through 9 in each cell of a 9×9 grid made up of 3×3 subgrids (called "regions"), starting with various digits given in some cells (the "givens"). Each row, column, and region must contain only one instance of each numeral. Completing the puzzle requires patience and logical ability.'

MOTIVATION

For Sudoku quite a lot generators, solvers and helpers exist. There are also some good J2ME Midlets. The 5ud0ku Midlet is designed to match to ivonne's and case's player natures and it is free of charge. Most preferred of the features are the pencil mark support and the colored display of the numbers.

Some of the current features have been suggested or even implemented (especially by Vlad) by people around the world and I am happy, that there is so valuable feedback from the community!

A basic sudoku game. fun but no appealling features.

10 - February 14, 2008 - Steve Hopper from Ipswich, United Kingdom using Nokia E65

This is by far the best free sudoku around. I would have liked to have seen a Pause feature and a Best Times feature, but that aside I cannot fault it. It can even solve other peoples sudoku puzzles. There is no sound on my version (see review below), which suits me fine!
