Jacado SuDoKu is a game for mobile telephones developed in Java ME that executes together with a Java EE server side responsible for generating new SuDoKu puzzles on a daily basis. Jacado SuDoKo allows playing endless sudokus. Both for fun and for prizes. We have prepared a separated top score tables for each month. Each month, the competition starts again. Special prizes announcements are presented within a pop up window each time you start the game on a mobile telephone. Apart of playing for prizes, you can also play for fun. Jacado SuDoKu includes inner support for various languages including English, French, dutch, Italian, Romanian, Russian & Hebrew. Inner help tips assist with understanding the various features this game includes. The data within the top score database tables on the server side is available via XML feeds allowing to present it on every web page. In order to protect against game cheaters with access to Java technologies we chose to have all sudoku puzzles served from the Java EE server side to the Java ME client running on the mobile telephones. In addition, each time a sudoku puzzle is solved the results together with the puzzle ID are sent back to the Java EE server side that checks and approves the solution before updating the database tables.
Jacado SuDoKu has 3 different games modes (Daily, Random & Empty) you can select from. Each game mode means a different game play.
Daily SuDoKu
Playing in this mode, each day three new sudoku puzzles become available. Each one of them has a different difficulty level (easy, medium & hard). In order to play the daily sudoku there is a need to register and provide an email address and a mobile telephone number. The registration is free. When solving a daily sudoku puzzle your score is automatically sent to the Java EE server side. Top score is tracked on a monthly basis. The best player each month receives a prize.
Random SuDoKu
Playing in this mode you can get and play endless sudoku puzzles from our server. You can't submit them in order to get points. You can play them for your fun only!
Empty SuDoKu
The empty mode allows you to take a sudoku puzzle from another source (newspapaer, magazine etc...), enter its numbers into this game and use this game special features in order to solve it.
The game includes special features that come to assist when solving a sudoku puzzle:
Easiest Cell
Special color mark for the next easiest cell to solve.
Possible Numbers
Showing all possible numbers inside each cell (or inside the cell on focus... according to your choice).
Many mobile telephone models are limited with the number of images a Java ME application can include. We chose to overcome this problem by having a smaller number of images that each one of them includes a number of smaller size images. When the game executes the small images are extracted from the big ones. That special technique also enabled us to have all texts in a graphically based format. That allowed us to support the user choosing the text color, successfully coping with the well known problem of different mobile telephone models having different font sizes and have the flexibility to support a big number of languages without being dependent on the languages the mobile telephone, running this game, supports.
Jacado SuDoKu is available in two different versions. The first is a commercial version you can buy for one time feet. The second is a sponsored version you can install on your mobile telephone for free. Inner small advertisements embedded within the game sponsor your playing. The two versions have the same exact features and both of them enable the user a life time experience playing this game.
The only difference is the number of points you get when solving the daily sudoku puzzles.

Easy Level - 4 pts
Medium Level - 8 pts
Hard Level - 12 pts
