I was asked by email 4 days before my wedding to create a sudoku game. It didn't need to generate boards (thank goodness, I only had 2 days to finish it by the time i saw the email) but it did need to have several boards already available and it needed some sort of bell or whistle to make it more than just sudoku on the computer. I didn't have a great deal of time on my hands, so I kept it simple. It played sudoku, it had a menu to select a board, and it let you cheat to solve it or show you invalid moves. It's pretty minimalistic but I thought I'd throw it up on my website since I thought it was kind of neat for a 2 day project.
I wrote it in java using a library called Slick (the same library I'm using for MULE right now) and it has a little zip folder that contains everything you need to run it in Windows. I've only tested it on my machine on Windows XP, so I can't guarentee it will run on anything else, but it should run on any modern Windows machine with Java installed and a Open GL capable graphics card (preferably with up to date drivers).
