My local paper has a (4x4) x 4 Sudoku puzzle that uses 0-9 and A-F for characters. See http://www.menneske.no/sudoku/4/eng/ for an example. The total number of squares is 16X16 (256) grouped into 4x4 sections.
How hard would it be to modify the source code to allow for that in gnome sudoku? I'm willing to attempt to modify the code if you could point me in the right direction.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Shouldn't be hard at all -- the grid size is a parameter that can be changed (though I've never used a grid size other than 3x3, so there's no guarantee that it's not hardcoded in places by accident). I even played with generating hexidecimal puzzles at some point, so it definitely wouldn't be a huge stretch.
One pointer, though -- look in the gnome-games source code, not at sourceforge -- this site is obsolete now that GNOME Sudoku has been included in the official GNOME.
