    I used to have fun with this widget. Now none of the numbers show up at all. It happened after I had to send my new macbook back to apple and they formatted it. I restored from backup and sudoku hasn’t worked right since. I keep hoping a new version will fix my woes, but alas nothing seems to help. Does the sudoku widget work on macbook pro any longer?

    Hi Dave,

    I have a Macbook pro and it works fine for me. Try completely uninstalling the widget and re-intalling it. See the FAQ’s for more information on doing a clean install (#12). Good luck,

    Brian

    Hey, when you choose a number for a square, the other smallers should disappear. ie if I have 2 little 9’s and I choose one of them and mark it red, the other little 9’s should disappear. just a thought

    I gave up on the Sudoku widget for a while. I could no longer get it to work. It still doesn’t work, but perhaps I’m getting closer to figuring it out… Anyhow, I went through the uninstall / reinstall procedure in the FAQ, which turns out to be exactly what I was doing, with the exception of the removal of the plist file from my home folder. That did nothing incidentally.

    The problem manifests as a lack of showing any numbers when you click on a grid square. Also it doesn’t show the little “i” in the corner that used to be there so long ago. It does however show the grid and if you click on a square you get a red border, indicating that at least some of the source is doing what it is supposed to.

    I ran sudokuc from the shell and it appears to generate numbers that could represent a puzzle… I’m able and willing to do some debugging here. Anyone have any tips on debugging java script inside a dashboard widget? I tried using an alert but it just ignores those. How can I get it to show some variable data inside the dashboard widget? I’d prefer not just scribble on top of the presentation area if possible… Thanks.

    I am unable to get your widget to work for all users on my MacBook. I installed your widget in Library/Widgets, but only I can see it.

    Regards and good health

    Really enjoy your widget. Thank you so much for sharing it with me. But as my eyesight is failing (typical malady for my age) I sure wish it appeared LARGER on my desktop. Can’t we make it grow bigger for me and others with my problem??

    Dear Brian: Last few games have a problem. The game allows the same number in a square. What’s up? Ronda

    Hi,

    Your widget isn’t too bad, but there is a misanderstanding on Sudoku rules. I tried 3 games, each in easy mode, and got each time an insolvable state, meaning I had to guess a solution (I showed the automark to be sure I didn’t miss anything). I had at least 2 solutions for each case, and that shouldn’t appear in a real sudoku ! Just correct your algorythm, and it’ll be perfect !

    Regards,

    Alex

    I like the simplicity of this widget, but I’ve come across at least two or three puzzles that are generated that have no solutions because there is a conflict inherent to the pattern. Maybe you might want to check the puzzle generation algorithm.

    After doing the latest Apple upgrades yesterday I now notice that the Sudoku widget no longer works.

    As well, I downloaded system updates and it no longer works. I tried uninstalling, but for some reason, it ignores my request and i can’t get rid of it off the widgets!
    There are no numbers on a new puzzle and I cannot add any either.

    I just updated my MacBook OS to 10.6.8 and now Sudoku will not work. I open it up and all the cells are blank. Do you have any suggestions. I have already deleted it and redownloaded it. I also did all the suggestions on the web site. I even tried installing it on another computer running the same version of the OS and the same thing happened.
    Thanks

    It still works for me on my new MacBook Pro with 10.6.8, but not on my older iMac with 10.6.8 that I installed the latest updates on with Software Update. They mentioned preparing things for the installation of Lion. I don’t think your Sudoku game, which I love by the way, is compatible with the Lion operating system at this time. Plan to fix that? Hope so.

    I too am seeing the same thing that Dave is with our Macs under Snow Leopard 10.6.8. It worked fine under 10.6.7, so likely something in the 10.6.8 mix has fouled things a bit. I wasn’t watching close enough to say whether it was the base 10.6.8 update that did it, or the more recent patch to the 10.6.8 update.

    I love your Soduko game. However, it recently quit working. No numbers appear in the boxes, and no numbers or pencil marks can be placed in the boxes. I have tried numerous downloads including updated versions and have followed your instructions on deleting including the library prefernce. What’s up?

    Ditto Mike. I did “updates to my computer” yesterday on my Mac without realizing that it was a lengthy Safari update, and now I can’t play the widget :( My scores are saved, though. Any suggestions?

    Same as everyone else. It doesn’t work anymore since I updated it. It has my saved scores, but no sudokus are given to me to solve when I hit “New.” It just doesn’t work. WHY CAN’T YOU DO SOMETHING? EVERYONE HAS THE SAME COMPLAINT.

    Doesn’t it work on OS Lion?

    Is there an update in the works that will work on the later MAC OS? Thanks for a great app. I just would like to continue enjoying it. === Abel
