AB Sudoku 1.5
Thanks everyone who provided feedback for AB Sudoku 1.0. I’m happy to announce new release – AB Sudoku 1.5 Download AB Sudoku 1.5
- Better support for mouse-based play: When I started writing the Game, my intention was to print puzzles and then solve them. Later, it turned out that people prefer playing on the computer rather than using the printouts. I hope those who like to use mouse to play, will like the way I implemented the mouse control in this version.
- New option to reduce generated game complexity: This option controls how the new game is generated. By default generated games 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.
Upgrade from version 1.0:
It is recommended to uninstall Ab Sudoku 1.0 before installing the version 1.5.
ABS files saved by previous version are valid for Ab Sudoku 1.5.
New version is available for download at AB Insight
Also for those who like Sudoku, check out this link: http://www.sudokulinks.com/sudoku.html
It has a lot of useful Sudoku-related resources.
See you next time,
Andrei
