Seconded this. Very small too, at about 10 MiB, or 250 kiB per game, which is tough to beat! The Android port is probably the best but a Linux and Windows version also exist. Get it on F-Droid
There is also Gauguin, a similarly small app but with only 1 puzzle type, this one. There are more options though, including more operation combos, negative and non-consecutive numbers, and even rectangular grids! The controls are a little worse if you ask me and so is the performance but not by a lot. I have spent huge amounts of time playing the game in both apps and I slightly prefer this one thanks to more variation.
This is very cool! Coming from a beginner, it might make the first few games easier if you added an extra setting that would start the puzzle with one or two numbers already filled in (like a typical sudoku), as that gives a natural starting point. Obviously, it may not be needed if you mainly develop this for yourself :)
I believe in the Puzzle I attempted, the solution was not unique: at the end, two numbers could be placed interchangeably (in my case, I could switch around all "1"s and "4"s and end up with just as valid a solution - that is, of course, unless I missed something :)
Very cool little puzzle, thank you for sharing!
This is fantastic. Well done!
I would kill to just have a simple app to play dominoes on my phone with no ads and no BS. I almost found one. It didn't have ads between games, but it did have a stupid micro transaction scheme or online play or something. Grumble. Grumble.
This might just drive me to start developing apps. I can probably do the basic stuff but I don't know where to begin programming the cpu opponent...
