Known bugs

1

Does not launch on firefox (not tested on netscape) ... This is because the plugin code for firefox is not yet in place in the launch page. Should be a simple fix but I don't have time to work this 'magic' out at present.

1.1

3

The code is pretty scruffy. Not a good example of how to write professional Java ! ... but getting better.

1.1

4

If I embed the code from Launch.html into Sudo.html then, dependent on exact syntax, either the other links on the page stop working or IE security demands conformation before running the code ... So for now are using the current rather ugly setup. Any hints gratefully received.

1.1

7

There should be a standard (XML ?) format for exchanging suduko information. Should work out what this is and add support to program. Maybe this should be an on line service ... you submit a puzzle ... it mails back the answer (and probably a load of advertising :-( )

1.1

9

Update boxes remain ticked after puzzle is solved.

1.3

10

Disabled tick boxes are a pretty shoddy way of displaying update status. Should be able to do something better.

1.3

11

When things go wrong it's pretty obvious which square is at fault ... and together the red row, col and box. This square should be some sort of 'super red.'

1.4

12

Should have a proper bug tracking system ... bugzilla ?

1.4

13

A 'hint' button would be good ... link to problem detection system and suitably sarcastic comments.

1.4

14

Red lights are OK but maybe give a negative user experience. Should also have green lights when things go right.

1.4

15

The 'Guess and Check' problem. See 'Operation' page for more details.

1.5

2

Error handling is poor to non-existent. If you enter a puzzle which cannot be solved i.e. Has no valid solution or multiple valid solutions the product will get confused. It does not yet detect that it has become stuck and may produce meaningless output.

1.1

1.3

5

Control panels for each square have grown to the point where the background color of the square is invisible. Makes it difficult to identify boxes when entering information.

1.1

1.3

6

There is no end of game sanity check. i.e. Will claim to have solved puzzle even if it got stuck.

1.1

1.3

8

There should be a 'solve' button which repeatedly runs 'process' until the puzzle is solved or no further progress can be made.
