Anygraaf Announces Doris Sudoku Generator
Automatic generation of Sudoku puzzles for both print and web publication

FREDERICK, MD — January 4, 2006 — In response to growing demand for Sudoku puzzles by daily news publications, Anygraaf has created an easy-to-use Sudoku Generator. The Generator can create puzzles and solutions with varying levels of difficulty for print or web publication. Both a print and an Internet Sudoku Generator program are available.

The Doris Sudoku Generator for print publication automatically creates puzzles and their solutions based upon pre-defined variables. The degree of difficulty, size and look of the Sudoku can be controlled. Automatic generation of either jpg or eps formats occurs once the puzzle parameters are chosen. The files can be set for automatic placement on assigned pages; thereby eliminating the manual work associated with publishing Sudoku puzzles.

The Internet Sudoku Generator can publish Sudoku puzzles directly to the Internet in an interactive format. The interactive version features flexible layout and design, easy website integration and three different difficulty levels. Users can dynamically generate new Sudoku puzzles themselves in either of the three difficulty levels. Hints are available via a button, which adds one number to the puzzle at a time. A demo of the web Sudoku is available at www.anygraaf.fi/sudoku.

When queried as to why Anygraaf chose to create a Sudoku Generator, Andrew Hunn, president of Anygraaf USA, Inc., replied, “We recognized that this puzzle is becoming very popular. We wanted to give our customers a tool to help them increase the value of their products with a way to create these puzzles on their own and not just for print but for their websites as well.”

An Introduction to Sudoku
Sudoku is a logic-based number placement puzzle based on a 9x9 grid made up of 3x3 sub-grids. Each row, column and sub-grid must contain only one instance of each number 1 through 9. Sudoku puzzles generally have a varying number of digits placed in the puzzle at the outset. The amount of pre-placed figures has no bearing on the difficulty of the puzzle; the difficulty is based on the relevance and positioning of the numbers.
