Re: Simple Sudoku
Topic update: latest Simple Sudoku release is v4.2n, dated 2007-04-09 (version and download at http://www.angusj.com/sudoku/).
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...
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...
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:

The user can also choose between five levels of complexity -- from Easy to Extreme. Each puzzle is generated randomly so there is an almost limitless selection. Not only does Simple Sudoku make challenging puzzles, it also provides tools to help solve them -- removing the drudgery but not the fun.
