    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.
