How to do this ?

Dear friends i have personally developed a game which solve about

80% difficult Sudoko cases and ease with more flexibility .

Beside users can play at random combinations of Sudoko boards

with timer and score maintenance.

I have used java and MS Access for storing boards data.

I want to sell this game and make some money out of it.

Kindly guide me ....

I think you will find it pretty hard to sell. Look at all the software which is available for free (from mail clients to whole operating systems). Also, I think you can find examples on the web to do this quite easily. Another problem may be that you have used access which means the end-user would have to have this installed. There is also security to think about when selling applications. Do you have to enter a key to activate the product? is their a free trail (which most people will expect) etc, etc.

I don't play Sudoko but the way I understand the same algorithm for solving one board size should work for any. I don't know what 80% difficulty means but should your code not be able to handle any situation?

Lastly, I thought the challenge was solving the problem with a pen and not a computer program. Does this not take the fun out of playing Sudoko ?

As there are already tons of ways to play sudoku for free, I doubt there's any market for this.Using MS Access is not a good idea in any case as few (potential) customers will have it or be willing to buy/get it and install it.

And yet i have one more software that is capable of data loading.

Posting data from excel files directly to oracle database.

Normal sqlloader in Oracle takes time (about 15-20 min) as one has to generate .csv file or write control files.In my software time is eliminated and loading large excel files is effort of 4-5 mins.Automatically control files are generated.

Could i see some ray of hope ?

You could become a consultant and get paid to tell others why they can't sell their software....just a thought.

I doubt it to be honest. This is all stuff that be implemented through the Java API. Which means anyone can do it and code like this probably exists already in lots of workplaces where they will have wrote something similar themselves. If they didn't have this code and decided they would need it then they would have someone write it on-site.

The best way to make money out of software is to write it for a living. Get a job as a coder.

> to sell this softwareNo but what you could do is this.If it's useful make it open source and distribute it somewhere for free. That will gain you no money but could be a useful thing to put on a resume.

It won't sell. End of storyDo what cotton said: give it away. As well as looking good on a CV, potential employers don't need to look too far to see if your code is any good. So make sure it's good!
