SudokuBoy

A Sudoku game written in x86 Assembly.

This is an old project I made back in college (2010). I fixed some of the bugs and cleaned it up so that it can be compiled from source.

Only runs on 32-bit Windows.

Building and Running

You need Turbo Assembler 5 (TASM) or any compatible assembler. Edit build_and_run.bat so that it points to the correct paths of tasm.exe and tlink.exe.

Running the batch file would generate the .exe file inside the bin folder and would then run it automatically.

How to Play

There are two game modes: Normal Mode and Wordoku. The latter uses letters instead of numbers.

There are 99 available puzzles categorized by difficulty: 33 easy, 33 medium, and 33 hard.

When inside a level, click on an empty tile using your mouse, enter any character from your keyboard, press the Enter key to accept your entry. Level ends when you have filled the whole board.

Technical Details

Uses Text Mode graphics mode
Each puzzle is contained in a file which has a simple format: A number represents the actual answer for the given tile followed by either a 'y' or 'n'. 'y' means that the number preceding it is shown at the start. 'n' means it isn't. (Check 01.ans for a full example).

Contributing

The game still has a number of bugs. Plus, there may be incorrect comments and unused code. Bug reports and pull requests are always welcome.
