  • Sudoku in SRPG Studio is... sudoku. This entry is based on Classic Sudoku, which is the mode of filling squares with numbers from 1 to 9 in a 9x9 grid without being repeated on row, column, diagonally or 3x3 subgrids. In this particular entry, you select a grind and the scroll the desired number you want to place. If the number placed makes a conflict with the rules, it will be red squared to highlight the mistake. Also this partiocular entry features a lot of randomly generated puzzles in several difficulties (which is something that impressed me) so even newcomers can easily approach the game and play for a while. This entry is a huge showcase that you can also commit sudoku in SRPG Studio, but doesn't go beyond that.
  • Seems to work very well though I think the UI could be a bit better, but that's just a nitpick. I was able to beat it on Hard in about 30 minutes (which means I've either gotten better at Sudoku since I was 9 or Hard isn't really that hard). All that aside, great job!
  • This is an impressive feat that shares a common problem with the other direct ports into SRPG Studio, as good as it is, it isn't that creative or inspiring. I would also comment on the styling of the numbers being difficult to read and differentiate on the board as well as the random generation of puzzles not really fitting sudoku all that well, Even on Easy, there are puzzles where there are two valid solutions but only one is "correct".
  • You LITERALLY did not make Fire Emblem! Good job!

Impressively made! I think the generating algorithm isn't working quite right though. On one occasion I ran into a sudoku with a non-unique solution (I checked it with an online solver), which meant that I couldn't deduce the answer. It plays well though, nice work.

Well it works as it  should, the algorithm doesn't checks to see if the puzzle has an unique solution (that needs even more recursion than what it has right now) but even then all puzzles should be solvable (even if they aren't a true Sudoku).

I suppose that's true, they are solvable, but only by just trying something, you can't deduce the solution because you can get to a point where there's 2 possibilities and both are valid. That's why generally all sudoku have a unique solution. Still, I understand that that would be really hard to do and a big pain with such a limited engine. Good work nonetheless!
