This is a Sudoku game made in C++ and SDL2. It's currently available for PC, Android, Switch, Wii U, Vita, and PSP.

Features

Sudoku puzzle generator.
Touch screen support.
Eight different scrolling backgrounds with customizable settings (size, scroll speed, angle)
Those mini-numbers to help you keep track of harder puzzles.
An optional cheat that auto-fills a cell (press X or Y 10 times).
Calm and envigorating MOD music to suit your mood.

Installation

Extract the zip file to the root of the SD card.

Suggestion for handheld Switch users - try setting the resolution to 720p/480p resolution respectively with integer scaling turned off for (very close to) native resolution on handheld. Widescreen 240p also looks great on these systems.

Controls

A-Pad or Touchscreen - Navigate

A or Tap - Confirm

B - Back

L/R - Previous/Next Song

Plus - Pause

Minus - Quit to Menu (while pause)

X/Y - Quick Toggle Mini-Grid

Screenshots

Changelog

v1.3

Added save data support; quit a game and come back to it later!
Added a new cheat: Press B then Y (or Backspace then Period on keyboard) four times to clear all mistakes
Added Native screen scaling options that can match either your entire screen or a specific aspect ratio
Added 7 new background patterns
Added one new song
Added support for 1:1 displays at resolutions of 240x240 and above
- Also removed 21:9 option; you can still use the new Native setting to achieve this
All game assets are now compiled into the executable, meaning fewer files to manage and faster initial load times on consoles
Cheats can now be accessed on mouse/touch-only devices by tapping the first (for cheat 1) or second (for cheat 2) icon on the sidebar eight times
In addition to pressing R like before, you can now also change the current song by tapping the third icon on the sidebar three times
Lots of polish and code cleanup
Updated SDL2 on all systems
[PSP] Reduced font size at full resolution (it looks cleaner)
[Wii U] Now supports up to 1080p thanks to recent SDL2 updates
[Wii U] Added WHUB to release

v1.2 2022/04/12

Ported to PSP.
- I'm not sure if this works on a real PSP-1000 (the model with less RAM). It should work - it runs in PPSSPP set to PSP-1000 mode - but I haven't tested it myself on a real 1000 model.
Added integer scaling option (enabled by default) for resolutions that are smaller than the actual screen resolution.
- This replaces the old Fullscreen menu option (PC users can still toggle fullscreen by pressing F).
- This does nothing on Android since the Android version always runs at native resolution; instead, Android gets a toggle for showing/hiding the top status bar.
When using a resolution that's smaller than the screen's resolution, the window is now rendered to the center of the screen, meaning consoles can now make better use of smaller resolutions.
- This does not work on PSP since its version of SDL_RenderSetViewport() doesn't work properly.
- (Suggestion for handheld Switch and Wii U gamepad users - try setting the resolution to 720p/480p resolution respectively with integer scaling turned off for (very close to) native resolution on handheld! Widescreen 240p also looks great on these systems).
Added a loading screen upon booting the game instead of staying on a blank screen until everything is loaded.
Added 240p, 272p, and 544p logos so the logo now looks clearer on those displays (like the Vita).
Added a few more resolution options.
Adjusted grid number positions on Vita so they don't bleed into the grid.
Fixed a bug involving mouse/touch controls when used alongside button controls.
Fixed the background randomly jumping around upon loading a puzzle.
Pressing L/R to change songs now saves the current song setting.
The controls screen now properly reflects swapped Confirm/Back buttons.
Reduced number of button presses required for the cheat from 10 to 8.
A LOT of other polish/minor bug fixes.

v1.12 2022/03/21

Added analog input.
Assorted polish + code refactoring.

v1.11 2021/10/06

Adjusted blue text so it doesn't pop out so much.
Disabled windowed setting on consoles (it didn't do anything on Wii U and Vita anyway).
Adjusted "Press _ to Quit" text to be consistent across platforms.
Fixed Switch-exclusive bug in Video settings.

v1.1 2021/10/04

[Hotfix 10/5/21 - fixed Switch icon]
Ported to Switch and Vita.
Added controls menu.
- Swap A and B button functionality.
- Enable/disable touch input.
Added max timeout to puzzle generation; if this timeout is met, a pre-generated puzzle is loaded instead.
Added version number to title screen.
Added an icon for the PC version.
Minor polish/bug fixes.

v1.0 2021/10/03

Here's the first release.
