How to Play

When you tap an empty cell, you place the current number on the empty cell;
The current number is shown in the lower right corner;
Use your keypad to change the current number;
Tap on a filled cell to change the current number;
The program will not let you do obvious faults (placing repeated numbers in the same cell/row/sector);
To clear a wrong cell, tap and hold the wrong cell;
To toggle a pencil mark for the current number, tap and hold the cell;
The puzzle generation is done in background while you play. When you use "Game->New" you might get a message stating to wait until the new puzzle is ready.

Have fun.
