Figure 12.28.: Sudoku
Sudoku in Rockbox can act as both a plugin and a viewer. When starting Sudoku from
the Browse Plugins menu, a random game will be generated automatically, and an
estimate of its difficulty (very easy, easy, medium, hard or fiendish) will be displayed
on the screen. New games can be generated from the Generate menu option. When
“playing” an existing Sudoku game file from Rockbox’ file browser the plugin is invoked
as viewer. The selected Sudoku will get loaded and you can start solving it. The sudoku
games need to be stored as text files with the extension .ss as single file per game.

(as described in the key table below) when you have finished and enter the full path to
save to including the .ss extension (e.g. /sudoku/new.ss).
