Chapter 1 – Game Play


Meaning 'single number' in Japanese, Sudoku (or 'Su Doku') are simple but highly addictive puzzles that have displaced crossword puzzles in many newspapers in Japan and Great Britain.

Sudoku Addict by TealPoint brings this phenomenon to your handheld, adding intuitive controls, handy annotation features, and powerful puzzle-solving capabilities.

The Challenge


Sudoku is played on a deceivingly simple board. Numbers are written into a square 9x9 grid that is subdivided into nine 3x3 boxes.

To win, simply fill in the blank cells so that every row, column, and 3x3 box contains each of the digits 1-9 exactly one time, with no duplicates or missing numbers.


Starting a Game


To start a game, select the “New Game” button on the main screen. The New Game window will open.


Game Type

Choose a puzzle difficulty level: Easy, Medium, or Hard. Different puzzle difficulties require potentially different strategies (covered in the next chapter) to solve. The toughest puzzles have a 5-star difficult rating, while all Easy puzzles are only one-star in difficulty. Medium puzzles range from two to three stars.

Manual Puzzles

If you want to play a puzzle from another source, say a newspaper or puzzle book, you can even choose the “Manual” option, which lets you start with a completely blank screen. You can even use the “Solve” option (below) with puzzles you’ve entered manually.

Puzzle Number

You can also specify a particular puzzle to play by puzzle number (from 1-1000) which lets you come back to challenge a friend with the same given puzzle at a future date.

Sound Effects Volume

Sets the volume level used for sound effects

Voice Effects

Sets whether “Heather”, the on-screen assistant, speaks to you.

Tapping Cell Increments Value

By default, tapping on a cell opens up a number pad allowing you to enter numbers in “ink” or “pencil” (explained below). If this option is enabled, repeatedly tapping on a cell simply increments the contents of the selected cell instead, erasing it to blank after the number nine.

Training Mode

Enables training mode, explained below.

Entering numbers

Enter numbers by tapping cells with the pen or selecting them with your device’s 5-way navigator control (if present).

PalmOS: a popup number pad will appear allowing you to choose what number to go into the cell. Foleo: a dual-purpose ink/pencil pad is always on screen.


Training Mode

If you started the game in Training Mode, SudokuAddict will help by eliminating conflicting choices for you. This makes the game much easier to play while you’re still learning the strategy. You can’t turn Training Mode on or off once a game has started, however, and there is a point penalty equal to one-half of your base score for using Training Mode.

PalmOS: the number pad will appear with only valid (non-conflicting) choices boxed.

Foleo: valid choices are automatically show in the active square



Pencil Entry

When you’re not sure what should go into a cell, you can also add annotations to a cell to help you figure out the answer. Marks like this are traditionally used to help remember possible contents for a specific cell.


PalmOS: Just tap on a cell after selecting the “Pencil” pushbutton in the lower right corner of the screen. A number pad will appear, but this time you can select multiple numbers, allowing as many small numbers to display in the cell as can fit with the current cell size.

Keyboard Shortcuts

It’s also possible to enter numbers using a device keyboard or Graffiti. Simply enter a number to be placed in the cell. In ink mode, the number will be placed in the cell, replacing any current contents. In pencil mode, the number will either be added to the cell or removed if it already exists.

To clear the contents of a cell, enter a backspace. To change its current contents from pencil to/from ink, enter a space. When going from pencil to ink, if more than one number is present, the lowest selected number will be chosen as the inked number.

Hints


If you get stuck playing a puzzle, you can select the Hint button to get help. Choose from the following options:

Hint – reveal a single tile that can be deduced from the other numbers on the board using simple strategies.

Check – check whether the current tile values leave the board in a solvable state, or whether a mistake has been made somewhere.

Solve – completely solve the puzzle and end the game.

If you solve the puzzle a Swap button will appear that lets you toggle back and forth between the solution and the last state of the board.

A 2000-point penalty will be subtracted from your score for every hint you get, and no high score will be awarded if you using the Solve option.


NOTE:
If you have entered an incorrect number on the board the current puzzle may not be solvable until your correct the error. Hints are also based on the current board contents, so a returned hint may not be part of the correct answer if you’ve entered incorrect numbers.

Save/Restore

While playing a game, you may save the current state of the board at any time by using the “Save Board” drop down menu. You can then later “Restore” to this point later if you make a mistake. This feature is invaluable when solving Hard difficulty puzzles that require some guesswork to complete, but you can only save and restore boards from within the same game.

Undo

Choose the “Undo last move” menu to reverse recent changes to the board one cell at a time. You can backup up to 50 changes from your last move.

Scoring

Base scoring is awarded for the fastest completion. A bonus 2x or 3x multiplier is then given respectively for 'Medium' and 'Hard' difficulty puzzles. If you played in Training Mode, a penalty will be assessed equal to 50% of your score. Finally, a 2000-point penalty is subtracted from the final score for every 'Hint' or ‘Check’ requested and given during the game.

The maximum total score is 100000 points (hard difficulty done instantly with no hints and not in Training Mode).

Full Screen Mode


To enter Full Screen Mode, select Toggle Full Screen from the application drop-down menu, or select the full screen mode icon, which is present if there is sufficient space left over after including other controls. (New in 1.50)


In Full Screen Mode, the playing board is enlarged to the largest possible size. If there is sufficient space, scoring, timers, and buttons will appear either below or to the right of the game board depending on whether you are running in a landscape or portrait orientation.


NOTE: On square displays, the game board will effectively occupy the entire display, requiring that you use your device menu button and drop-down menus to start and stop games, request hints, or exit Full Screen Mode.


Chapter 2 – Preferences


Use the Preferences screen, accessible from a drop-down menu, to change the following settings:


Sound Effects Volume

Sets the volume level used for sound effects

Voice Effects

Sets whether “Heather”, the on-screen assistant, speaks to you.

Tapping Cell Increments Value

By default, tapping on a cell opens up a number pad allowing you to enter numbers in “ink” or “pencil” (explained below). If this option is enabled, repeatedly tapping on a cell simply increments the contents of the selected cell instead, erasing it to blank after the number nine.

Small Number Pad

Enables use of smaller popup number pads, obscuring less of the display when they are open. (New in 1.50)


Text Size

Allows you to set the global text size used in the program. For good results, the largest font sizes require a device with a sufficiently large display.

Windows Mobile and Windows PC only (New in 1.50)

Click Sound

Allows you to disable the system “click” sound associated with control navigation.
Windows Mobile and Windows PC only (New in 1.50)


Chapter 3 – Strategy

To figure out what numbers go where, use logic, perseverance, and for 'hard' puzzles a little methodical trial and error.

Easy Puzzles (basic strategies)

Basic strategy consists of 'looking for the ones'. Examine every row, column, or box, looking for digits needed to make it complete. Look for instances where a missing digit can only go into one blank space because the other possibilities would conflict with a neighboring row, column, or box.


For instance, in the example pictured, we know that the 3x3 box in the upper right must contain the number “2”. Using a process of elimination, we can locate the “2” in the upper left corner of this box, because the other five blank cells would conflict with twos in other rows or columns.


You can also use the inverse of this method: narrowing down blank cells to one number because all other possible values for that cell would cause conflict. 'Easy' puzzles can be solved with basic strategies like these.

Medium Puzzles (advanced strategies)

More advanced logic is sometimes needed to solve 'Medium' difficulty puzzles. These involve deducing cell values based on the possible contents of neighboring blank cells.


Twins and Triplets

One advanced strategy is to find “Twins” and “Triplets”. For instance, in the example pictured, we know that the 3x3 box in the upper right must contain the number “6”. Using neighboring rows and columns, however, we are only able to eliminate the two cells stacked vertically in the middle of the box.


We can get more information, however, if we also look at the 3x3 box below in the middle right. This box also needs a “6” and using basic strategy we can narrow down the possibilities two one of two spaces in the left column of this box. Since either of these locations would conflict with the first column in the upper left box, we can strike out that column from that box and locate the “6” in the lower right cell.


Hidden Pairs and Triplets

Another advance strategy, “Hidden Pairs” and “Hidden Triplets” involves finding a subset of cells in a row, column, or box that are the only possibilities for an equal number of missing numbers.

For instance, imagine you have a row that has a fair number of missing numbers. Two of the numbers are, say, 3, and 8, and there are exactly two cells left that can either contain the 3 or the 8. There are still other empty cells in the row, but none of them can contain either a 3 or an 8.

To help in this example, let’s introduce some simple markings often used to by Sudoku enthusiasts. When solving a newspaper puzzle, it’s common to use a pencil to write small numbers into unknown cells. These numbers are reminders for what numbers might go into each cell. As more logic is applied, these small numbers can be progressively erased or crossed out. When only one remains in a cell, that’s the contents that must go there.

In this example, the row might look something like this:

[ 9 ] [ 45 ] [945 ] [ 2 ] [ 38 ] [ 59 ] [1378] [ 74 ]

Since you have two empty cells that can hold two missing numbers, then one of the cells must contain the 3, and the other must contain the 8. Even if you don’t know which is which, you know that no other number can go into either cell, which can narrow down the possible locations for all other missing numbers in that row.

[ 9 ] [ 45 ] [945 ] [ 2 ] [ 38 ] [ 59 ] [ 38 ] [ 74 ]

Knowing this lets us determine the contents of the last cell in the row, as it’s the only place left for a “7”.

Matching Pairs and Triplets

A more complex advanced strategy, and one that is a little tough to illustrate, it that of “Matching Pairs” and “Matching Triplets”. These can be applied when a number of cells in a row, column, have no other possibilities beyond a matching count of missing numbers.

For example:

[ 9 ] [ 45 ] [ 12 ] [ 276 ] [ 25 ] [ 8 ] [125 ] [ 74 ]

In this row, three cells (third, fifth, and seventh from the left) have been narrowed down to possibilities of exactly three numbers: the digits 1,2, and 5. None of these cells can contain any numbers other than 1, 2, or 5, so we know that no other cell can contain any of these numbers, and we can simplify the possibilities to:

[ 9 ] [ 4 ] [ 12 ] [ 76 ] [ 25 ] [ 8 ] [125 ] [ 74 ]

Hard Puzzles (sweat and tears)

While not considered true “Sudoku” by hardcore enthusiasts, hard puzzles add an extra dimention of difficulty beyond traditional Sudoku. They cannot usually be solved by logic alone, and instead require some guesswork to complete. This means that you must take an educated guess, and play forward with the puzzle until you either complete it or determine that it is unsolvable with the guess you made. If the latter, you must undo back to the point of your guess and make a different guess.
