Have you ever wanted to cheat on sudoku? Me neither. But here it is: sudokusolver for N900. Using Google-goggles (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1182958 and http://notanothercodeblog.blogspot.f...ggles-api.html)

sudokusolver takes any jpeg-file, sends it to the server and if it was sudoku, solution will be returned. With sharing-cli (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=39705) it can be used with camera application.

-------
Usage with camera:
*(only in first time) Install ggoggles-sudoku and sharing-cli
*open camera
*take picture of sudoku
*go to the gallery
*select just taken picture
*click to get toolbar
*crop it
*share (save when asked)
*share via service
*command line sharing
*(only in first time) type command: ('CLI command')
sudokusolver %s
(don't use Capital Letter S)
-press OK
-press Validate
*share
*wait 2 seconds and there will be new window with solved sudoku (or error message)


If you messed command: Phone settings -> sharing accounts -> click 'Command line sharing' to edit.

---------------------
Usage with commandline / Troubleshooting (and info for developers)

You can pass any jpg-image to the ggoggles and check textual output what it returns about image:
sudokusolver just parses this textual result and draw it to the screen if there are keywords for solved sudoku. Sometimes it fails to solve sudoku (even it recognized it to be sudoku).

Then there are multipurpose google goggles (python qt) which doesn't fit on screen, but can be used as a starting point.

Original web page is dead, but I have tarball of git-repo: http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/ggg.tar.gz

It has text version which accept filename as a parameter. Gui version doesn't accept (first modification if used with camera sharing).

Working fine
would be nice if u intregate more functionablites like directly sharing from camera possiblites for more recognisation altough it does .
Btw what if it gets conected to server and tryes to display text on screen when u focus on a thing.
Using the gps it acesses the maps(modrana) wikipidia ofline onlyn both and clutters the screen with info if u have pois saved on that area it will show them plain with distance to it.
Argumented reality type thing fun to use and useful at times

so whats up ?

With Maemo's default camera and google's server it will not be possible to recognize sudoku on real time. Augmented reality would be very cool. But this is not tool for it. Using N900's camera with other software than default camera application is hard to get focus and balances working.
