Hey everyone,

I've been working on a classic-style Sudoku game for Windows 3.11, fully written in Visual Basic 4.0 (16 bit)

Features:
- 9x9 grid, 3 difficulty levels
- Timer + Best Times (which is stored in INI file)
- Classic Windows 3.11 look and feel
- Nothing special actually, but it does the job 😀

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.

I am aroused about any X86 motherboard that has full functional ISA slot. I think i have problem. Not really into that original (Turbo) XT,286,386 and CGA/EGA stuff. So just a DOS nut.
PS. If I upload RAR, it is a 16-bit DOS RAR Version 2.50.

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?
