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.
