Simple Sudoku make challenging puzzles, it also provides tools to help solve them -- removing the drudgery but not the fun.
From the same maker of the tweaker indispensable
Resource Hacker,
Simple Sudoku is a nice time waster for a lazy weekend afternoon -- and fret no more about lack of portability with
yaP to the rescue...
Code: Select all
; configuration file for yaP v0.7.1 (http://rolandtoth.hu/yaP/)
; application name: Simple Soduku
; version: v4.2n[.1.83]
; website: http://www.angusj.com/sudoku/
[GENERAL]
application = App\simplesudoku.exe
; commandline =
; workdir =
[BEFORE]
dir = %APPDATA%\Simple Sudoku :: Data\Simple Sudoku
regkey = HKCU\Software\Angus Johnson
regkey = HKCR\Simple Sudoku
regkey = HKCR\.ss
[...]
Apparently, those last two HKCR regkeys aren't used if you (
Uni)extract
Simple Sudoku's installer, but I put them there for safety anyway.
Also, you can load your own puzzles, as puzzle files are simple text files with the
.ss extension and the following format...
Code: Select all
|...|.4.|...| or even simpler: xxxx4xxxx
|.1.|..7|.2.| x1xxx7x2x
|..3|5..|6..| xx35xx6xx
|---+---+---| x6x2x48xx
|.6.|2.4|8..| 2xxxxxxx1
|2..|...|..1| xx53x8x9x
|..5|3.8|.9.| xx9xx14xx
|---+---+---| x3x9xxx5x
|..9|..1|4..| xxxx7xxxx
|.3.|9..|.5.|
|...|.7.|...|
Non needed language files (
.lang) can be safely purged from program's folder, and if you want to keep your
.ss puzzle files elsewhere, you can, too. Just move them -- e.g., to the '
Data' folder -- and add the following line at the end of the
yaP configuration code above for ease of access:
Code: Select all
+regvalue = HKCU\Software\Angus Johnson\Simple Sudoku :: FileOpen :: {YAPROOT}\Data
