Sudoku

Hi,

Sudoku is not really a quiz game but a math game using all digits from 1 to
9. VBA is the answer, I think.

You walk to the window and yell: "Steve".

Please tell us your PowerPoint version,
whether you are using vba,
whether your dog has fleas, or
anything else relevant.

Hi,
I was not thinking of something complicated, for example no need for
suggestions such as Hidden or Naked Single... Just for users to get some
sudokus to choose between, click and guess and find out Right/Wrong answers
directly.

Then you can probably use trigger animation (If you are using PowerPoint
2002/XP and above) instead. When using trigger, you can set something to
animate only when you click on a particular object like action button.

Example of trigger animation can be found here:

Isn't Soduko basically like a crossword puzzle with numbers? If so, you
can see my basic crossword puzzle example at:

Click on the "More Tricks" button and look for Trick #9.

Hi,
Thank you all for your suggestions.

Yes Tohlz, trigger animation really helped.

Yes David, I will use the crossword puzzle that you show at your home page.

Yes Ute, I can use some of the vba-code in the Excel-example.

One last question:
How can I get random questions to pop-up when I click on a square?

Scenario:
A user clicks and types his/her number. If it is right, a random question in
connection with that number pops up. If the guess is wrong, the pop-up will
tell so.
When another user clicks the same square, another question pops up, and so on.

I have named the objects, but do not know how to get any further. Where can
I find some examples to use?

Hi David,
In your code, you talk about setting object's name. How can I find out and
setting the name of an object without using vba?

As far as I know, you can only name object with VBA. See Example 8.7 on
my site.

I have some examples on my site that do random things. Look at examples
8.13 - 8.17 on my site. I'm not sure if any of those examples are close
to what you want. I could imagine an array of questions, and you just
generate a random number to pick which question to display.
