Sudoku 10'000 and Sudoku4ever have been released with a new play screen layout!

There are more than a thousand (!!) different Android devices with many different screen resolutions, pixel densities and sometimes even with two screens. Sudoku 10'000 and Sudoku4ever try to determine automatically the best way to display all the elements on the play screen to maximize the app's usability.

Here are some examples of different devices with different screen layouts:

As you can see Sudoku 10'000 scales well on different devices/screen resolutions.

But of course there are cases in which the app isn't able to determine the best possible layout for a specific device.

Or maybe the player just doesn't like the default layout. Luckily Sudoku 10'000 is THE most configurable Sudoku app on Android!

Here are some examples of how you can change the layout:

As you can see Sudoku 10'000 is very configurable. In case you don't like the default layout, try to configure it to your liking.

Here's a list of the most important settings that affect the screen layout:

• Settings - General - Screen Orientation: fix the screen orientation to portrait or landscape
• Settings - General - Screen Mode: choose whether you want to play fullscreen or not (for portrait and landscape separately)
• Settings - General - 7x2 Keypad: choose whether to use the 7x2 or the 5x3 keypad (portrait mode)
• Settings - Appearance - Margins: show or hide the margins around the Sudoku board
• Settings - Appearance - Gradient Color: change the start and the end color of the background gradient
• Settings - Appearance - Digits: select font type, size, style and color of digits on the Sudoku board
• Settings - Appearance - Pencil Marks: select font type, size, style and color of pencil marks on the Sudoku board
• Settings - Appearance - Sudoku Grid: pick the background color, the color of the secondary grid, the width and color of grid lines for the Sudoku board and the colors for extra regions (Hyper-Sudoku, X-Sudoku etc.)
• Settings - Appearance - Cells: select the background colors for individual cells (given digits, selected cells, highlighted cells etc.)

If you by accident mess up the play screen, the option menu contains a function to restore the default settings for each setting category (General, Assistance, Appearance, Feedback).

Enjoy the colorful world of Sudoku 10'000!

Sudoku 10'000 V1.8 has been released today!

Finally the "old" version of Sudoku 10'000 runs on the same code base as the "new" version 2.4 and therefore brings the exact same functionality as its newer sibling. Why have two versions of the same app in the first place? Here's an overview of the different versions and why they have a "right to exist":

Sudoku 10'000 1.x: the original version of Sudoku 10'000 was pulled from the market by Google back in February 2011 for unknown reasons. Due to this removal we decided to release a new version that overcomes some of the design restrictions of the older version: Sudoku 10'000 Free 2.x was born. Once Google lifted the ban on Sudoku 10'000 1.x, we released a version of this app marked as "out-dated" to motivate users to download the new version (it's technically impossible to migrate automatically, Android market wouldn't allow this). Some of them did download the new version but around 100'000 users still have version 1.x. Because we didn't want to leave them out in the rain, we slowly but surely integrated all new functionality that came with one of the 2.x versions into version 1.x. We are proud to announce that as of today's release the two versions have merged completely and bring the exact same functionality.

Sudoku 10'000 Plus: this is the paid version of Sudoku 10'000. It's ad-free and brings an additional 5'000 puzzles in seven new variants: Jigsaw puzzles, Asterisk-, Centerdot-, Color-, Hyper-, Percent- and X-Sudoku.

Both free versions have in-app billing capabilities to upgrade to:

• Sudoku 10'000 Bronze: this is the ad-free version of Sudoku 10'000.
• Sudoku 10'000 Silver: this version brings 5'000 extra puzzles in several new variants like Jigsaw puzzles, Hyper-Sudoku or X-Sudoku.
• Sudoku 10'000 Gold: this version combines the Bronze and the Silver upgrades hence it's an ad-free version with 5'000 extra puzzles and functionally identical to the paid version Sudoku 10'000 Plus.

Here's an overview:

Sudoku4ever: the more functionality we added to Sudoku 10'000 the more it got an app for expert players. No other Sudoku app on Android offer as many functions as Sudoku 10'000 does! Many players prefer an easy to use game they play while waiting for their doctor's appointment, on the train or just in-between. Sudoku4ever was designed to meet these player's requirements: ease of use, visually attractive and high quality puzzles.
