Apologies for posting this elsewhere, I realise this is probably the best place for it.

Anyway, www.sudoku.uk.com has puzzles, 'coloured' hints, steps and the usual solver. You can save your game to return to later, and will soon have a discussion board, submit your own puzzle option, and much more.

Please feel free to check it out, any comments are welcome.

PostPosted: Sun Oct 16, 2005 3:22 pm    Post subject: sudoku.uk.com - Site update Reply with quote

Just to let you know the site has been updated with the following features:

Solver has been improved to use hidden and naked subsets (>2), and a new rating engine has been implemented for new puzzles.

Add Puzzle - You can now add puzzles by uploading .ss or .sdk files, or by copying and pasting in many of the standard formats. Solver will automatically rate the puzzle for you.

There is also a blog, and a discussion board.

Regards,
Paul

PostPosted: Fri Dec 02, 2005 9:29 am    Post subject: Major Site Update Reply with quote

The following functionality has been added to the site:

Improved solver. The solver now takes a more 'human' approach. It will try the simplest techniques first, then will get increasingly more complex in order to find the next number. As soon as it finds a number, it will revert back to the simple techniques again.

'Pencil Marks' added.
You can now see what numbers can still be chosen for each cell. When asking for a hint, you can choose to have these scored off also.

Undo / Redo.
You can now go back if you make a mistake, or forward again if you so desire.

Error Checking.
You will now be shown when you enter an incorrect answer. The offending cells will be shown in red. You can either Undo your entry, or just remove it manually. Remember to save after fixing it.

Step and Solve options removed.
These were removed because i thought it they take the fun out of Sudoku, and also because they quickly show the picture behind the puzzle, again ruining the surprise. They may return one day, who knows...

Login.
The site will now remember if you have logged in before. This is done using cookies, so if you delete them, you will have to login again.

My Profile.
You can now change some settings for the puzzle. If you want to show the 'pencil marks' against each cell on the grid, you can. Likewise, you can have these removed when showing a hint. Finally, you can remove the picture from the grid (as if you'd want to!). [/url]

It's been a long time since i've been on this forum, thought i'd better update this thread with recent developments!

X-wing, swordfish, jellyfish, colouring, multi-colouring all added. Techniques pages (nearly) now in synch.

New 'unsolved' page added to show puzzles that have beaten the solver. Updated periodically to show which are invalid or just plain hard!

Sudoku generator now runs every hour generating easy, medium, hard, and extreme puzzles. All posted to the blog for easy selection.

Picture sudoku now allows you to pick the font colour.

No need to register now, most options available to everyone who visits the sites. Most ads have been removed too!

Cheers,
Paul

www.sudoku.uk.com has been updated to use AJAX. This means that it works just like a downloadable Sudoku Solver, but online.

Features include hints, solver, picture sudoku, pencil marks and more.
