You mean interactive? Or just solvers? Or puzzle generators? Yes, I vaguely remember seeing one freeware graphical DOS version a few years ago, but I don't remember the details. For solvers, just for completeness, off the top of my head, I know of three obvious options that can work in DOS: 1). The old Hugi compo winner (62-byte .COM, 186+) = http://www.hugi.scene.org/compo/compoold.htm#compo25 = http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=6076&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 2). IOCCC '05 entry aidan.c (also can generate puzzles; supposedly also tested with BC45 small model) = http://www.ioccc.org/years.html#2005 3). Lots of solvers in various languages, e.g. Lua or XPL0 = see http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Sudoku > Therefore I decided to give it a try and write a libre Sudoku game for > DOS.

Granted, I know Mike Chambers ported Wolf3D to (very slowly!) run on 8086 too, but "most" 8086 users probably don't have VGA. Well, they probably don't even have CGA, but at least CGA can do more than you think: (8088 Domination, sequel to 8088 Corruption) http://www.osnews.com/story/27792/Full-motion_video_on_a_1981_IBM_PC Just FYI in case you weren't aware yet. ;-) CGA ftw! :-P > It was fun to do, I hope it will be of any use to the community. > > http://sudoku86.sourceforge.net My only complaint is lack of undo. Well, is there undo? Or hints? I can't seem to figure out if the right mouse button does anything or not. It's quite frustrating to accidentally make a mistake (two 4s in the same block) and not be able to erase it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open source business process management suite built on Java and Eclipse Turn processes into business applications with Bonita BPM Community Edition Quickly connect people, data, and systems into organized workflows Winner of BOSSIE, CODIE, OW2 and Gartner awards http://p.sf.net/sfu/Bonitasoft _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
