This is the documentation wiki for the github project susen.go: a simple, web-based Sodoku game designed to be friendly (and educational) for newbie Sudoku solvers.
The name Sūsen (数千), which means Thousands in Japanese, is a pun: it reads the same as the (English) contraction of Sūdoku no Sensei (数独の先生), which means Sūdoku teacher, and it refers to the thousands of values one must fill in to become facile at solving Sudoku puzzles (as well as the thousands of false starts I made writing this program).
I say that Sūsen is an English contraction because contractions don't work the same way in Japanese as they do in English. Just combining the first kanji of Sūdoku (数独) and the first kanji of Sensei (先生) produces 数先 which is not a word in standard Japanese, and so it would not be read as Sūsen but as Kazusaki. Its meaning would be closer to number destination.
You can play the latest release version of Sūsen here. For now, every browser gets a separate session of the game. There's an existing feature request to be able to move sessions from one browser to another.
Sūsen is open source under the LGPL, so everyone is free to fork the susen.go repository and contribute pull requests. See the project README for details on how to download and build using "go get".
This wiki is not very well organized yet, more a random collection of pages than an SDK. So the best way to get more info is to browse around, or take advantage of GitHub's search capabilities.
