Hello Linux community !

I don't like Sudoku games. Therefore I have written a Sudoku Solver in case that someone bothers me with that. The front end is in portrait mode so that it can be used with the thumb. Currently it does not have an optical character recognition (OCR). But it could be done with opencv and tesseract. It takes approximately one minute to add the numbers manually with your thumb and without OCR. An additional feature is the speech synthesis of the solved Sudoku in case you want to write that down.

Here is a video:

And here is an image:

I know: it's pure eye candy

This is my first debian package. I hope that the dependencies for other packages are met.

Currently it is not in a repository.

The package is here:

Edit 2010-07-31:


Here is a little update to version 1.0:

http://torsten-traenkner.de/wissen/n..._1.0_armel.deb

Version 1.0 highlights the small numbers, that exist only once in a row, column or square. This makes it a pretty braindead tipping game for an easy Sudoku.

By the way: be warned that the source code is a mess and untested. I wrote it in only a few hours without cleaning it up.
