==Known problems==

  * The galaxies game is memory hungry for large board sizes
  * The screen size option is far from optimal, but works.
  * There is no way to enter letters (a-z). Ex: 4x4 Solo games require you to fill cells with 1-9 numbers and a-g letters.
  * If the board size is too big:
    * Text may become unreadable (screen size limitation);
    * Game generation may take a while to complete depending on the board size and difficulty setting;
    * Game may need a reasonable amount of memory (ex: galaxies) to keep intermediate game states.

==Input - keypad==

  * joystick to move across the board
  * middle joystick - selection button
  * C : alternate selection button
  * 0-9 : specify number for certain games
  * `*` : undo move
  * # : redo move

==Input - touch screen==

  * pen : selection/action
  * to enter numbers, a virtual keyboard is shown at the bottom
  * 0-9 : specify number for certain games
  * U : undo move
  * R : redo move
  * S and / : current selection mode (similar to left and right mouse click)
    * S : normal selection
    * / : alternate selection
    * M : menu

==Screen size options==

  * Normal
  * Large Top - hide application title
  * Large Bottom - hide softkeys
  * Full

==Wish list (some time in the future)==

  * Manual save and load support
  * Save custom game settings
