Free Mobile Kanji Sudoku (J2ME midlet)
Another milestone: thanks to Leo (PhonPhun) a free version of Kanji-Sudoku M-Kanji-SuDoKu is available for mobile users (Smart Phones, PDAs). It is licensed under GPL and available via WAP download (OTA = over the air) at our new mobile portal: http://www.kanji-sudoku.com/wap/index.wml (please use the OPERA browser for viewing wml sites). I have been busy designing Kanji/Hanzi numbers (1-9: 一, 二, 三, 四, 五, 六, 七, 八, 九) in 7x7, 9x9, 11x11 and 15x15 matrices (less a surrounding line - so the characters are actually in the sizes 5x5, 7x7, 9x9 and 13x13). Imagine that in normal and bold fonts...
Well hidden, yet with a little help from Google :-), are even more online resources for Sudokus with Chinese characters and Japanese Kana (Hiragana).
Last - but not least - there are new 12x12 Sudokus with Chinese characters of the zodiac animal signs as used in the Japanese language (a Chinese version will follow). And yes: the 'Rat' is normally the first sign in the zodiac order, but the emphasis is on the year 2007 (year of the pig - wild boar) as these Sudokus are meant to be a nice present for Japanese people.
My friend Peter is back from Japan - I am really curious of what he has to tell me about his trip, especially when presenting his edition of Kanji-Sudoku as a gift to Japanese businessmen.
