Appearance

Motivation

λsudoku was born in a haskell universty course at the technical university in Vienna. The goal was to create a neat looking and user-friendly haskell game using modern technologies and libraries, namely GTK3 and haskell-gi. The sudokus get loaded from the internet, parsed in haskell and made playable through a native gtk interface. Special thank goes to Kjell Ericson for letting me use is sudoku generator web-app.
