 Slide Sudoku is the classic Sudoku game adapted to the touch interface. In landscape mode, the user is presented with rows of numbered tiles. These rows can be slid back and forth or dragged up and down until the resulting number grid meets the requirements of Sudoku the digits 1-9 must appear only once per row, once per column, and once per 3×3 region.
The player controls the level of difficulty by setting the selectable positions of each row from two to five. This offers a range of 256 to over 390,000 horizontal row combinations in which the player must find one where each column has all nine digits. As in classic Sudoku, certain numbers are fixed in order to give a starting point for puzzle solution. In the case of Slide Sudoku, the puzzle starts with one row fixed horizontally. Two types of notations are supported to facilitate the logical narrowing of possibilities which is one of the key delights of the original game. The first is a red edge on the left most square in the row achieved by double tapping the row. This serves as a user note that the current horizontal position of the row cannot be part of the solution. For instance, if a row repeats a digit in the same column as the initial fixed row, this row position can be eliminated for the sliding row. The red edge serves as a visual reminder of the remaining possible configurations. When all but one possible location for a row have been eliminated, a triple tap can be used to fix the row horizontally. The fixed horizontal position is indicated by the tiles having a pressed down look. The result is an intuitive logic game that is a joy to play. Key features: ———————————- |
