Here is the screenshot:

This is awesome!

Alway up for a 16bit Windows mini game. Sudoku is nice. Look and feel is clean and blends in with Windows original games. Thank you for this.

Here are some things I noticed:
1. vb40016.dll required to play. If this dll could be distributed with the game that would make it more accessible.
2. Windows 3.x runs at 640x480 by default. Your game needs 1024x768 or higher.
3. Here are some things that could be added:
1. A pause function.
2. The minimize button on the window enabled.
3. Brief instructions on how to enter the numbers into the squares.

Otherwise, nice job!

I am curious about the source code but I am guessing you don't want to publish that, right?

No resizing window. It does not even fit to 640x480. And it needs OLE2 runtimes and newest TYPELIB.DLL. I got mine from Windows 95. Original Windows 3.1 OLE2 runtime one says that it is too old for this program. Or why so much whitespace.

It seems iceblade has disappeared. No new posts whatsoever. Too bad, I thought this sudoku project was interesting.

It's only been a month...

Some programs like this would scale/stretch everything to fit the window allowing everything from CGA to supervga to work.

Usually could go back to 1:1 with sliders to view the whole screen pan and scan as well

In the case of Windows 3.11 CGA support seems unnecessary. I don't think Windows 3.11 even supports CGA. Not by default at least. I believe Windows 3.0 could be coerced to use CGA. If Iceblade wants to he could probably get his Soduku game to work on Windows 3.0 with some refactoing or tweak to the system. (I haven't confirmed or tested any of these claims btw, they're just my personal thought about the manner.)
