I use the 3.1 version of your program and find that it is a very good teaching device too.
ReplyDeleteI thought I'd provide some feedback for future improvements:
1) Allow user to rub individual pencil marks this will aid in seeing other relationships.
2) The open/save/Gen/Erase button can too easily be hit when trying to select a number from the lower row. (on Samsung Galaxy SII)
3) I came across an extremely difficult sudoku and the program was stumpped in providing any assistance even though there was only one solution. I managed to get it to solve after I had filled it in to a certain level.
|---|---|---|
| 3 | | 6 |
|4 6| 3 |8 2|
| 2|1 | 5 |
|---|---|---|
|8 | 3| |
| 3|8 2|5 |
| |7 | 9|
|---|---|---|
| 9 | 1|6 |
|3 | 2 |7 |
| 1 | | 9 |
|---|---|---|
Thanks again for writing a great program.
