NAME
flsudoku - the fltk sudoku game
SYNOPSIS
Sudoku is a FLTK-based version of the game of Sudoku. Sudoku (pro-
nounced soo-dough-coo with the emphasis on the first syllable) is a
simple number-based puzzle/game played on a 9x9 grid that is divided
into 3x3 subgrids. The goal is to enter a number from 1 to 9 in each
cell so that each number appears only once in each column and row.
At the start of a new game, Sudoku fills in a random selection of cells
for you - the number of cells depends on the difficulty level you use.
Click in any of the empty cells or use the arrow keys to highlight
individual cells and press a number from 1 to 9 to fill in the cell. To
clear a cell, press 0, Delete, or Backspace. As you complete each sub-
grid, correct subgrids are highlighted in green. When you have success-
fully completed all subgrids, the entire puzzle is highlighted until
you start a new game.
As you work to complete the puzzle, you can display possible solutions
inside each cell by holding the Shift key and pressing each number in
turn. Repeat the process to remove individual numbers, or press a num-
ber without the Shift key to replace them with the actual number to
use.
