A tiny text-graphics sudoku game written in C. It's a project I made when I was 15.
We had just learned about 2D arrays, everyone had to do a simple console-based game. The graphics were made in GEdit, mostly by painfully editing the file line by line. Everything would then be converted to a single, long, literal string and placed in a printf() (as the format argument, ouch!). I tried to go for a 60s style.
At the time, I wasn't even close to be able to grasp a sudoku solving algorithm, so, I decided to work with solved tables and remove random numbers. That approach skewed a bit the purpose of the game, as it doesn't often generate meaningful (or challenging) puzzles.
The code features aggressive for usage, variable recycling, and interpolated temporary values (through polynomial interpolation). That means it's a really hard to read, big chunk of code.
The rules were as usual: do not use stuff we hadn't seen in class yet. That would've been cheating :).
- completely written in Geany on a Ubuntu VM
- screen still cleared with
system("clear"), ouch! - multi slot save system
- built-in editor to add new tables with validator
- first appearance of
getch()
- UNIX project
- CMake scripts have been added
