GTK Sudoku

sguerrini97 · 01-18-2016, 11:45 AM

Hello, I would like to share my sudoku game for the Kindle. I tested it on my KT2, it should work on other devices too but I can't test.

I did this just because I wanted to try to build an application for the Kindle, it's not perfect: there's no way to check if your solution is correct, but you can play.
Also, I made this because the existing gtkSudoku (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=188997) does not work on newer firmwares, mine should

It ships with 12 puzzles taken from http://www.websudoku.com/ but you can put your own puzzles in the "data/puzzles" folder if you want.

Put the sudoku folder in KUAL's extensions folder and you are ready. Cheers.

Ops, fixed that

Also implemented a simple save/load function.

You make it look so simple, ignoring the funky window title that Kindles require.

What where the major things different between the older one that ran on the older firmware and this one that runs on the newer 5.6.x firmware?
Changes to the window title requirements?
Different GTK version?

I read about the strange window title here on the forum but to be honest I didn't dig too much into that.
I wasn't able to get any log when gtkSudoku froze, I think it's linked with a GTK library different from the one available on the 5.6.x firmware (I built this with the labraries taken from my 5.6.5 KT2), but this is only a thought, I didn't dig too much into that neither. I wanted to try to build a native app just for fun, I saw a non-working sudoku so I ended up with this.

Some other things here are having or have had trouble with updated libraries in the 5.6.x series firmware.
Probably a good guess.

Nice work!
And it works fine on my pre-5.6.x firmware too.

Maybe gtkSudoku had more dependencies. (Was source code ever posted for it???)

Random question: when a box is selected, would it be possible to distinguish it somehow.

I've added different colors for editable boxes and selected box

Thank you!

Appears to only use a small portion of the screen on my PW4. Any idea on a potential fix?
