SuDoku plugin feedback/support

[bgowland]

but the plugin still tells me it "cannot find part of the path c:\program.....\blue\SuDoko\skin.xml"

The folder should be called SuDoku (not case sensitive) - the path you show there has the name SuDoko (with an 'o' at the end and not a 'u'). Rename the skin folder and see if that helps.

Cheers,
Brian

One habit I've gotten into with the paper version is to write a guess lightly and then darken it in once I'm sure. Is there any way to be able to highlight, color, or make bold a number to discern guesses from sure bets? Not sure how you would control this with the IR remote, maybe there's a colored button available while in SuDoKu.

Great plugin otherwise, i'm hooked.

If you use the Blue button on the remote it toggles the entry mode to 'Pencil', in other words - guesses, light colouring etc. You can enter up to 6 guesses. To turn pencil mode off just hit the Blue button again. To clear any cell, use '0' (zero) then fill in whichever number you're sure of. Is this what you mean?

Great plugin otherwise, i'm hooked.

Thanks - glad you like it.

Hello,

I got the problem that my PC starts to hibernate when I play Sudoku (after ten minutes is my setting). It happens no matter if I enter a number or scroll around in the board.

Ofcourse it doesn't happen when i have my music library playing in the background while playing the numbers.
Anyone have a clue to solve this (except of turning of hibernate; or can i temporarily disable this from inside gbpvr?).

Thanks,
Etienne

I don't have my machine set to hibernate so it hadn't occured to me that this could cause problems.

Are you playing directly at your computer or are you using an MVP?

I am playing directly on my pc (with the remote); not the MVP.

Thanks.

OK - that was an option I hadn't thought about. I use either keyboard/mouse at my PC or the remote with my MVP.

It seems the application that handles your remote commands isn't keeping the PC awake (which you already know ).

I'll look into it.

My wife wants to know how she can check to see if she is headed in the right direction or if there is a way to check after she is done? Great plugin wife approves

There is no way of checking to see if a mistake has been made along the way, but the grids are guaranteed to have only a single solution and, if your wife gets it right, an indicator saying 'Grid Complete' will appear at the top of the screen. If she doesn't see that after filling in all of the cells, then she made a mistake somewhere.

Great plugin wife approves

Thanks (to you and your wife). I've been meaning to add some enhancements (including error checking) but just haven't got around to it.

Cheers,
Brian
