What it does

The joy of sudoku is putting pen to paper, we've aimed to recreate that experience while giving all the benefits of digital sudoku. Designed for use with Apple Pencil, this app lets you play unlimited puzzles as though writing on paper.

Update: I wish I could give 6 stars. Hats off to the developer! The app was just updated and I saw that the pen colors were added and the backgrounds were fixed for dark mode! That was a real quick turnaround and it shows the care that goes into this app. I’ll be recommending it to my friends as well. 13/10!really love how the app functions. It’s simple and I liked that there was a one time purchase rather than a subscription. Best app I’ve found for my Apple Pencil for sudoku! I would just suggest maybe 2 more pen colors? The white and blue can be hard to see. Finally, not all of the backgrounds show up which is disappointing because they look like they’d be cool! Otherwise, fantastic job…from apps.apple.com

    Hi HN! I made many small web games in the past with Unity or Phaser. But this time I wanted to make something completely on my own. So I coded a basic game framework in plain JavaScript, and used it to make Almost Pong. This was a really fun project that taught me a lot about JavaScript, and I plan to make more minimalist games with this framework. Interesting fact: Almost Pong doesn't load any assets, all sprites and sounds are generated with code. Happy to answer questions, and please let me know if you have any feedback on the game. Thanks!
