Hello,

You are looking at the README.txt file of the Sudoku download from sckoarn.com.  I hope you have as much fun playing Sudoku with this little script as I have had writing it.

First off, you will have to have a tcl\tk interupreter on your computer to use the included script.  I currently use the interupreter provided by Activestate.  It can be downloaded at this location: 

http://www.activestate.com/Products/Download/Download.plex?id=ActiveTcl

Once this has been installed, you are ready to run any tcl\tk script including those that you may write for yourself.

In order for you to be seeing this README, you would have had to have decompressed the download file already.  All that is left for you to do, to start playing Sudoku, is to double click on the Sudoku file in the installation directory.  Or double click a shortcut to the sudoku named file.

Any and all feedback is welcome.  Please feel free to post up your comments on the public forum off the main sckoarn.com site.

Update April 14/2006

Managed to find a bug, in that less locations were being generated than intended.  Now level 1 really does generate 33 shown numbers.

Full source is provided.  This is because Sudoku is so prevelent on the Net, and the production of it is not very original.  The solving technics are not really known to be good, it is just what came out of my head as I was coding.  There have been several attempts at generating a good puzzle, and I am still in the process of making additions.  Also I am not sure that UNIX and Linux users can even run the inital publication of this script, something about the first couple lines of the file needing special characters?  Im not sure, but now with full source it can be altered to make it run.

Being a Tool language, I have decided to take this application more towards being a Tool for generating Sudoku puzzles.  Addition of various optional generation methods are being dreamed up.

This release is version 1.0
