This game was initially designed for 640x480 displays, but it is compatible with any resolution, and higher resolutions will utilize more detailed text and support for smaller background tiles.

How to Compile

PC

Download the latest SDL2 development libraries (Visual C++ versions):

Extract the above ZIP files into a folder called SDL2, which should be located in the SuDokuLVS2019 directory.
From there, use the Visual Studio project file from the repo with Visual Studio 2022.

Android

Install Android Studio, then follow this tutorial.

Switch

Install devkitPro and switch-portlibs (which includes SDL2 for Switch), rename Makefile_switch to Makefile and move it out of the Makefiles directory into SuDokuLVS2019, then build with make.

Wii U

Install devkitPro, Wii U Toolkit, and SDL2 for Wii U, then build with CMake. I've included a make_wii_u.sh file for convenience once you have everything installed.

Wii

Install devkitPro and SDL2 for Wii, rename Makefile_wii to Makefile and move it out of the Makefiles directory into SuDokuLVS2019, then build with make.

Gamecube

Install devkitPro and SDL2 for Gamecube, rename Makefile_gc to Makefile and move it out of the Makefiles directory into SuDokuLVS2019, then build with make.

Vita

Install VitaSDK, then build with CMake. I've included a make_vita.sh file for convenience once you have everything installed.

PSP

Install psptoolchain, which should also come with SDL2, SDL2_image, SDL2_ttf, and SDL2_mixer (Linux or WSL is strongly recommended). Rename Makefile_psp to Makefile and move it out of the Makefiles directory into SuDokuLVS2019, then build with make.
