Standard disclaimer: "Patches welcome!" :-) > Could be that the right click doesn't work for you. If that's the case, > it's a bug, and I'd really like to know more about it. In addition to my desktop (Lenovo), I tried on my laptop as well (Dell). Same CuteMouse version (latest, 2.1b4). Same problem. (I assume that rules out a BIOS bug.) Right click will erase, but if it's already empty, it only temporarily flashes the number (full size). Which is of course not what DOSBox does. > About "Playability hardness": instead of relying on the embedded levels, > you could use any *.sdm collection of sudoku levels, and convert it to > the Sudoku86 format using the tool 'sdm2lev' included in the archive. Sudoku supposedly originated in Japan, where it's very popular. I've heard that some people pride themselves on hand-crafting each puzzle. And of course the difficulty can vary quite a bit. Even our local newspaper a few years ago started to include them every day (well, before they went with the three-days-a-week abomination, I haven't checked lately), from easy (Monday) to difficult (Friday). Part of the appeal of aidan.c (from IOCCC '05) was generator and solver in one. (And of course portability, even to lonely ol' DOS.) But he lamented that you couldn't choose difficulty at generation time. I've not tried thousands of puzzles, but the single rule seems to be that it must have one and only one solution. I've heard that some require you to literally guess (temporarily) instead of pure elimination. That seems a bit too much! I don't like that at all. BTW, my favorite text editor (which I've been using for years) is TDE, and it has a Sudoku expansion pack. I only tried it like once, though. (5.2 still isn't finalized. He said at one point that "Sudoku fans will be happy", but I can't remember why.) I wish I could point to his website to show you, but it never loads for me. He always seems to pick the weirdest web hosts, which don't work (oddly). http://tde.adoxa.vze.com/ (from .LSM online) ... just redirects to ... http://adoxa.altervista.org/tde/ So it actually loads now! I'm surprised. Anyways, here's what it says (just FYI): "Sudoku (21k): files to use TDE to play a game of Sudoku. More puzzles (52k)" > Anyway, please let me know about your 'right click' issue, I'm really > curious. Naive guess: probably just some accidental residue, some register value left unchecked or unrestored that DOSBox is somehow masking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
