As we near the launch of SLIDOKU, it appears that the educational and mental benefits are as yet not fully recognised but our team of volunteer testers, (nearly all are programmers or in the education field), are finding that the combined elements of the logic used to solve a 3x3 sliding puzzle and a different form of logic used to solve sudoku, are both able to provide a tangible benefit to the mental agility of the player which is a huge boost to our credibility as designers of puzzles with genuine challenges.
It is recognised that playing sudoku regularly can be an aid to preventing the onset of Alzheimers, and we heartily support this discovery and hope that the addition of another logic element will make our app a popular one for all ages, but especially as an adult pastime.
As a result of these emerging discoveries, we are now hard at work developing other variants of the SLIDOKU concept that include symbols and other visually stimulating alternatives to standard alphabetic symbols. We'd welcome any input or ideas from professionals, academics and others that might assist in this quest.
Onwards and upwards
