nudoku is a ncurses based sudoku game.

From Source

Dependency

ncurses
cairo (optional: for PDF/PNG output)

Compilation

Get the latest .tar.xz release and extract it. Then run:

./configure
make
./src/nudoku

For the git version you will have to do:

git clone https://github.com/jubalh/nudoku
cd nudoku
autoreconf -i
./configure
make
./src/nudoku

Add -DDEBUG to make to have some debug output.

nudoku can also output sudokus in PDF and PNG format (see man nudoku -p/-i/-n). You need to have cairo installed and configure with:

./configure --enable-cairo

Usage

For normal interactive GUI run nudoku. To print two PDF pages with 8 hard sudokus run nudoku -p riddle.pdf -n 8 -d hard. To get a PNG with an easy sudoku run nudoku -i sudoku.png -d easy. See man nudoku to learn more.

I18n

For i18n support use make like this:

make install
LANGUAGE=es
./src/nudoku

You can replace es with any other language suported (suported languages are listed in po/LINGUAS file).
