Q-Doku!

Qt5 based Sudoku game that uses the sudoku-serve backend for board generation.

TODO:

• Add more docs and stuff
  • About box
  • Splash screen
• Restructure project so it isn't a pile of spaghetti
• Add actual backend support (fetch a puzzle)
  • Remove demo puzzles
  • Request real puzzles, not demo puzzles
• Add game board to GamePage
• Add game logic
  • Add mouse selection and cell highlighting
  • Add keyboard navigation
  • Add number entry
  • Add puzzle validation, error detection
  • Error/Warning highlighting
  • Add game over logic
• Hide main menu in a hamburger instead of goofy swipe view
• License headers...
• Better board grid generation
• Change to use model/delegate model instead of JS array
• Start new game on startup, if none in progress
• Gameplay statistics would be nice (not available during game play)
  • Time spent each game
  • Guesses made
  • Correct guesses made
  • Guess error rate
• SaaM (SudokuGame as a Model, sadly no TableModel in QML)
• Puzzle request status box
  • Busy indicator while requesting puzzle
  • Board generator progress meter, if board/puzzle needs to be generated (TBD)
• Puzzle difficulty setting(s)
• Click on number to highlight all other cells with the same number
• Status bar (?)
• Allow mouse-only interaction (== touch friendly!)
• New game dialog
• Add some graphics, so it actually looks nice (background, cell tiles, etc..)
• Add some sound effects
• Use QML StateMachine to handle game state
• Local storage handler (QML)
  • LocalStorage wrapper with basic settings
  • Save/restore window size, needs resizability first
  • Save current game
  • Fetch/save unplayed boards (pre-loaded boards)

Future enhancements:

• Themes. Colors, image tiles, etc...
• Notes
• Board/Puzzle browser, show/choose available puzzles on server
• Cloud storage (device dependent, e.g., iCloud for iOS)

Features requiring backend work:

• Actual puzzle generation (from frontend perspective)
• Puzzle generator progress
• Selectable puzzle difficulties
• Different configurations, e.g., Samurai boards

BUGS:

• Left/right arrow navigation wraps around to prev/next row
• Row/Col highlight bar doesn't animate shrinking when cell selection moves
• Random seed dialog is uuuuuuugly (should be in New Game dialog)
• Game board does not scale with window size, would be necessary for mobile devices
• Changing to larger board leaves the old cells on the board while a new puzzle is being requested
