nudoku is a ncurses based sudoku game.

I heard rumors of nudoku being in the AUR.

Since nudoku is in the EPEL repository, you just need to enable the EPEL repository and run:

yum install nudoku

Since nudoku is in the official Fedora repository, you just need to run:

dnf install nudoku

Add strangeland-overlay.

Then run:

emerge --sync
emerge nudoku -a

Since openSUSE Leap 42.1 (and Tumbleweed) you can find nudoku in the official repository. For others you need to add the games repo. On openSUSE 13.2 for example, you can do it like this:

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/games/openSUSE_13.2/ games
zypper in nudoku

• ncurses

Get the lastest .tar.xz release and extract it. Then run:

./configure
make
./src/nudoku

For the git version you will have to do:

git clone https://github.com/jubalh/nudoku
cd nudoku
autoreconf -i
./configure
make
./src/nudoku

Add -DDEBUG to make to have some debug output.
