This game is created as an experiment with the eclipseCDT MinGW environment. The FLTK toolkit was used as a trial project to get it compiling and the sudoku example was used to trial the environment. So the program here is not written with code quality in mind, but mainly as an exercise and for fun.

This version of the puzzle is Copyright 2006 by Paul Janson & Rob Golsteijn
Based on the version from FLTK example by Michael R Sweet Copyright 2005
And modifications by John T. Haller of PortableApps.com to improve portability. (version 1.1.7a). We took Fl_Preferences.cxx and copied a few Sudoku.cxx changes.
Michael thanks for the inspiration, and Portable Apps / John thanks for the pointer to the FLTK sources. And their Portable work in general!
