Sudoku game for J2ME MIDP 2.0 devices
This is an open source implementation of the Sudoku game. This game should work on all Java MIDP 2.0 enabled devices, so far it has been tested on a few Nokia S40, S60 and S80 models. Devices with MIDP-1.x profile will be supported if someone comes up with an idea how to create one multiprofile jar out of single set of sources.
Introduction
The goal of Sudoku is to place numbers from 1 to 9 once in every 3x3 square (made of thick lines), once in every row and once in every column.
This program can generate new Sudoku puzzles. You can also input your own Sudokus (e.g. from web or news paper) and save them for later playing. The puzzles generated by the program even at the hardest level are at most 2 to 3 stars of difficulty on the scale usually used in news papers. So for real brain frustration stick to the published puzzles.
Cheating is also possible, either by letting this program to solve the puzzle or allowing you to check if the puzzle is still solvable from the current state. The solver uses a brute force algorithm, so on low end devices it may take quite a long time or it may even run out of memory.
While playing you can push the current game into a stack. This way you can try out different choices and if you end up with non-solvable puzzle, just pop back previously pushed game and try out an other approach.
