  212. .B sudoku
  213. .I Sudoku
  214. is a puzzle game from Japan. The goal of the game is to
  215. fill the numbers 1 to 9 in all squares of the 9x9 board following a
  216. few simple rules: no digit should repeat on the same row and column,
  217. and no digit should repeat in the same 3x3 boxes outlined with thicker
  218. lines. The board is initially filled with a partial solution which
  219. can be used for inferring digits for the empty squares. The top row
  220. of the board contains the digits 1 through 9, clicking on one of those
  221. digits selects that number for placement on the board, clicking it
  222. again will deselect that digit. Clicking on an empty square will then
  223. affix the square with the selected digit or, if no digit is selected
  224. empty the square.

  303. In
  304. .I 4s
  305. and
  306. .IR 5s ,
  307. mouse warping (when the game is resumed,
  308. and when a new tile appears) does not happen when
  309. the mouse cursor is outside the game window.
  310. Those who prefer to use the keyboard without the mouse
  311. cursor blocking the view (or being warped all the time)
  312. may consider this a feature.
