AB SuDoku description
Generate free Sudoku puzzles and solutions for players of all expertise levels.

If you are fan of Sudoku and are looking for a little bit more challenging plays than what some other tools consider a super-duper paranoid level, try this one.

If you are utterly lost, you can cheat a little bit - the Expert is there to suggest to you a position for the next move, the move itself or the complete game solution. You can eve find a very useful print feature in case you are planning to travel or just to play away from PC.

Here are some key features of "AB SuDoku":

· Game generation: A new game is generated in two steps. First, a random valid SuDoKu board is generated with all cells open. Second, cells are randomly cleared and the program checks for the uniqueness of the resulting solution. Once the maximum number of cells is removed , the game generation is complete.
· Suggest Position/Move/Solve the Game: There are toolbar help buttons that will suggest a position for the next move, open the next cell or solve the game.
· Game Rating: The rating system is definitely something I'm planning to improve. See this topic in my blog for the current rating system.
· Code Copy/Paste: Also something I'm planning to improve. Before you paste the code, please review it in the preview dialog (see screenshot) as this operation will clear undo/redo buffer.
· Print: The program prints two identical copies of the board on one page. The plan is to make print layout customizable by user.


What's New in This Release:

· Better support for mouse-based play: Toolbox allows to select a digit to put on the board. The board itself can also be used as a toolbox. Any number on the board can be picked up by right-clicking it. Left mouse click resets cursor to normal.
· New option to reduce generated puzzle complexity: This option controls how the new puzzle is generated. By default generated puzzles do not have moves where guessing is required.
· Auto-pick last number in a 9 digit sequence: When all the numbers but one are known in a row/column/quadrant, the remaining number can be automatically picked up by mouse. This eliminates necessity for obvious but routine calculations, when the last number is opened in a 9-digit series.
· Optional automatic check for new updates: This ensures easy notification for latest product updates. The check occurs once per week. The check is also available per user request.
