Sudokool - a must try

tech_cheetah · 25-09-2005, 06:00 PM

hi Friends

I have developed 'Sudokool' , a cool pc version of the popular
game sudoku. I developed it as part of my Core Java Project.
I m giving a preview below

The game is now platform independent n tested successfully on linux n windows.
You can download latest version of the game from here

U need the jre 1.5.x to run game, although jre 1.4.2 will work ,but looks
will not be so cool.

Alternatively if u have JDK 1.4 or 1.5 then u don't need jre bcoz jre comes
included in JDK.

You can download jre 1.5 from here

Please give me ur feedback and comments after playing my first
software " Sudokool" here

Cool work mate!

icecoolz · 26-09-2005, 02:19 PM

excellent work man! I love the interface and so far from the little I have played, its been pretty smooth...keep it up!

tech_cheetah · 26-09-2005, 02:41 PM

there are complaints that the zip file is corrupt.
I have uploaded it many times after deleting previous upload.
Its working fine on my pc.
I recommend to use winrar instead of winzip.

Sourabh · 26-09-2005, 02:45 PM

Geocities bandwidth has expired and would keep on being the case, so I suggest upload it somewhere else like Rapidshare.de or MegaUpload.com or some webspace from which downloads can be done directly. Also the Preview image is not showing up.

shwetanshu · 26-09-2005, 02:45 PM

yaar can u also upload it on megaupload and rapidshare??? ur geocities shows DATA TRANSFER LIMIT EXCEEDED

tech_cheetah · 26-09-2005, 04:33 PM

The download link has been shifted , so no bandwidth problems now.
Thanks to Sourabh.

In order to avoid confusion i have updated the link in the first post of the thread.First link gives a direct download.If this link fails,for some unknown reasons, rapidshare link is also given.

Good work Cheetah. I think you should send it to SKOAR! as well. They would surely love to carry it in the next issue's DVD.

navjotjsingh · 28-09-2005, 08:08 PM

Excellent Game. Thanks for making such a wonderful game.

tech_cheetah · 29-09-2005, 08:13 PM

thnks to everybody for their kind appreciation.
Now here is a surprise for all.
The game contains an Easter Egg

Lets c who finds out first !!

rollcage · 29-09-2005, 11:40 PM

Good Work man ..

BTW I am sort of addicted to SUDUKO in newspaper
I am able to do the easy one .. but Hard wala to kabhi solve hi nahi hota.
Infact .. Easy one is still a pain to solve..

In all Suduko is a very good ... being a new thing for me.

tech_cheetah · 30-09-2005, 06:21 PM

Sudokool Tips :
1.How to use pencil/guess
use guess only when u get struck at a point where u cannot proceed further by all the logic u have .
U should guess at a point where there are only two possible entries.
Right click to make a pencil mark .Now work out the puzzle using right click.If the point was guessed right then all the entries will fall correctly in
their places.Otherwise the guess was wrong.Don't forget to erase these pencil marks n fill the point with left click before submitting the puzzle.
2.Issue of the records
-Records will consist of only those puzzles which u have played from the library(easy,medium and hard) .In other words custom games will not make any entry in the records.
-Puzzles which are completed in a single sitting only will be entered into the record.Those which u save and load n then complete will not have any entry in the records.

tech_cheetah · 30-09-2005, 06:31 PM

For playing hard level u will have to add more logic to ur armour.If u try to solve hard level using the same logic with which u solve easy and medium puzzles then my freind u will not be able to proceed after a certain point.
I would like to give u a very good link on how to solve sudoku
here

tech_cheetah · 01-10-2005, 08:31 PM

Can anyone suggest some popular software sites where i can submit this game.
I have submitted on
download.com and
softpedia.com

rollcage · 02-10-2005, 04:50 AM

What about these

1. http://www.acid-play.com/

2. http://compactiongames.about.com/od/freegames/

tech_cheetah · 02-10-2005, 07:48 PM

Thanks buddy.
I will try to upload on the above sites soon.But i want to know about PAD files.while submitting any software , the sites usually ask URL of PAD file.
What is a PAD file?
How is this file written ? or generated?
Is there any program(freeware) for generating the same?

03-10-2005, 10:00 PM

:CLAPS:

now i'm thinking of learning JAVA
i'm developing such a pro in VB

but ur is a gud 1

tech_cheetah · 06-10-2005, 06:02 PM

deadman - i found java a very cool language.Every function which u need is already inbuilt in the java library.All u need is to learn how to use them in an object oriented way.I will never go back to c or c++ after having learned java.GUI is so cool n nice in java(no comparison with that of c n c++).

tech_cheetah · 10-10-2005, 07:24 PM

Sudokool updated :
1. The game now runs on both linux and windows.
(I have not tested on other OS, but thnx to platform independent java technology on which this game is developed, hope it will run smoothly on others too.)
2.Game window made resizable.
3.Added file select/browse in save/load option to make the things easy in case of large no. of saved games.

Link in first post has also been updated.
