The only possible option (as far as I can imagine), since this project is no longer under developement, would be print the puzzle and draw your lines on paper.

During a cumbersome AIC analysis, I would like to be able to draw arrows linking candidates, so as to have a crear picture of where I come from, and where I could go... Is this possible...?

I would like to know the way to draw arrows joining candidates in a AIC.

Maybe try selecting/highlighting one step? Level is determined by default.

Thansk for the helpful response. BTW, the puzzle was generated by Hoduku (hard).
-
Probably a situation not often encountered where every cell in the house contains the same three candidates as those exposed by the naked triple. hth
-
Can you explain why some cells which appear almost identical were chosen to be deleted?
-
Hmm, ok.. Copy Library Format actually distinguishes between Givens and Values, which I have found to be useful at times. Otoh, Copy Candidates seems most efficient. However, I do recognise it being undesirable in the case of Show All Candidates being deselected.

OK, but for me it dosn't work ... only the save as / copy of Givens did not work, all other points are working fine. I tested it on two devices, a laptop with UBUNTU and on my Raspberry Pi5, also with UBUNTU. As I said also copy / past Givens did not work, if I copy / past Values it works fine ... if it is only an issue with my installations I have to live with this workaround.

Copy Givens, Values or Candidates and Paste results into a text app - Notepad for e.g.. Although, my experimenting shows the same result for Copy Givens and Paste to text as does "*.txt Givens as one line" . ??

Export as *.txt is wrong

Thanks for the information

It may be possible for you, depending on your level of coding skills. However, this version of HoDoKu is no longer under development. See https://github.com/1to9only/HoDoKu/releases/tag/2.2.4 instead.

Hello, I am interested in translating Hodoku into French, so adding this language to the program. Is it possible to do this (currently only English and German)? Thank you.

Good to know thanks, though that's something my eye isn't drawn to, which is why I suggested something you can't miss. heheh

I do appreciate your trying to help. I'm really sorry to hear that the main developer is AWOL. I almost wish I hadn't tried this now. I'm tied up with other stuff for a few days now, but will dig into this more shortly. I do think the default install location improved things dramatically (if not fix everything).
-
Once the coloured progress/difficulty indicator - circle at bottom of app - turns white it means the puzzle has been solved to singles only. From there you can press F11 to solve all singles, or simply create new sudoku.
-
Also.. By default personalised configurations, via File > Save Configuration As.., are stored in C:\Users\username. You can choose any location you like as long as you remember its path to Open Configuration File...

I would love to have an option to set to alert me to the puzzle being complete that is not a button press (like the current option). If the puzzle could just animate for a moment in some way (invert colors perhaps, or something similar) then I'd know I'm done and to get out of my focus. If there must be a button option, then at least include in there a button that gives you the option (in the same pop-up) to load a new puzzle. I kinda think that last one should be there anyway.

I JUST REMEMBERED something potentially different between the two setups. On my laptop I just have one big drive so I let things install in the default install path. On my Desktop (where it's not working) I changed the install to go to D:\hodoku GRRRRR. I uninstalled using Windows Installed Apps feature and it was removed. I downloaded fresh (just to be sure) and reinstalled, but when I did, it launched with all the settings that were there at my last load prior to reinstalling. Where did it get...

More info. It's acting like a Permissions thing. Some settings are sticking, but others aren't. For example, Options I have Show All Candidates checked, but on each load it's back to unchecked. I also tried to reset the colors to default. Nothing seemed to change when I did it and on reload it was still your colors. However, ColorKu is no longer set so that sticks.... WTH?
-
When you change settings under Preferences are they supposed to be instant or do you need to reload?
-
INTERESTING. YOUR cfg file (loads with the colored dots) seems to work, so it's clearly something in settings. Now I'll see if I can slowly start from yours and get it to where I want to be. Maybe I'll trip over which setting does it. At least we're finally getting somewhere.
-
Resetting to Default and also changing settings under Level/Font had no impact. It's very strange. I can't for the life of me understand why code could be made to just ignore the difficulty setting. So strange.
-
Here's what it reports (looks like 64-bit): java version "1.8.0_441" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_441-b07) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.441-b07, mixed mode)
-
Is your Java 64 or 32 bits?
-
I don't know how AMD might be different to i7 in this particular case. As far as I can discover, AMD should work with Java based apps.
-
Under Edit>Preferences and Level/Font you can adjust settings for any level of Difficulty. Reset to Defaults might work, or simply adjusting them might help. For example, my settings for Hard are between [Medium] 1100 and 1800. But then, that config didn't seem to work for you. Did you try my Hcfg-3.zip https://github.com/user-attachments/files/19745797/Hcfg-3.zip? Sorry I can't help you, but I have noticed differences in behaviour between Laptop and Desktop machines. I'm running on a DT, so... On...
-
That's the Java version. The desktop is an AMD Ryzen and the laptop is a Core i7. Windows 11 is on both and both are current.
-
The latest Java Version is 8 Update 441. And, yeh.. The app won't work at all until Java is installed. Can you mention any difference between the machines, besides OS?

Thanks. Installed Java with 2.2.2 version just literally this week (fairly new machine build so Win11 was fairly fresh too, so I forgot to add Java prior than this app). New version, same problem. I don't get it either as it works just fine on my laptop. Is there a config parameter to force say, Hard to see if that kicks it into compliance?

Idk.. Is your Java up to date? Anyway, there has been some further development of HoDoKu on GitHub (including my attention to appearance) That version works fine on Win 11, in my experience. https://github.com/CCV54/HoDoKu/discussions/5
-
I just started using HoDoKu and have it on two devices (desktop and laptop). On my desktop the Difficulty settings has NO impact. All puzzles seem totally random. I set Hard and I get puzzles with a score of 120 or 1,200 and if I set to Medium, it's the same including puzzles with the hardest solutions the game offers. I think it also is ignoring my setting to use Alternative Mouse Mode. Any ideas?
-
I have no idea. There are some very talented coders on GitHub. All I can see is that Java 6 is outdated. The current version is 8.421. Now I also remember that my using a desktop shortcut, allowing for use of the HoDoKu icon, instead of directly using the Java version, did cause problems with saved Preferences = .hcfg.

In answer to your previous question I have never used CCleaner and not an issue I want to sort out now, I just noted when editting the colours they are in the wrong order. What I find a nuisance is that when you save a configuration file it saves it independently of Hodoku and then you need to specifically load it every time you want to use that configuration. Which if that is every time you use it gets annoying More importantly I need to get the code building I am trying to build it in Eclipse 2024-6...

In der Erklärung zu Sue de Coq heißt es bei "Beispiel 1": "... Da alle diese Zellen in Block 6 sind, können ...". Dies ist wohl ein Irrtum, oder? Es geht um Block 7 (sieben), richtig?
-
Oh.. Apps like CCleaner can delete the default .hcfg file (which would normally be identical to custom settings upon closure of this program), because it is located in "temp' files. Are you using any such program which will automatically delete temp files?
-
Not sure what you mean, but I've never had any problem with colours correctly loading, neither from the default saving of the current .hcfg (unless it gets deleted) nor from any custom saved .hcfg. I've been using this program with some particular attention to colour options for a very long time. Are you able to provide some sort of example? I know that custom colouring does differ from the default.
-
Oh the ordering of the colours when changing the custom colours definitely happens on Windows too.
-
Marcus Widerberg posted a comment on discussion Help
I too have this question!
-
Yeh.. Could be a problem peculiar to Ubuntu. Idk, but, iirc, one of the programmers on GitHub was also using Ubuntu. There is a bugfix for corrupt hcfg, mentioned in that release. All I know is that there has been no such issue with Windows.
-
Thanks, BTW if I open Hodoku, then load my default colours from the config the colours do not work on the candidates. But if I close Hodoku and immediately reopen it, it picks up the correct colours perfectly. So this is a slightly weird bug.
-
Thanks

Not sure if this is the source code you're looking for, https://sourceforge.net/p/hodoku/code/HEAD/tree/HoDoKu/trunk/src/ I think you would need to create a project of your own to do any more work on this version. Anyway, there has been more recent work done on GitHub. Probably a better option for creating pull requests or forking. https://github.com/1to9only/HoDoKu/releases/tag/2.2.4 Plus additional work on appearances, by me, with ColorKu especially in mind. https://github.com/CCV54/HoDoKu/dis...

I like to play Hodoku using the ColorKu option on by default. I also liked to play with custom colours that match the default colours you can use to select cells with. There are a couple of bugs with this, firstly the game does not remember that I chose ColorKu so have to manually select it every time I want to use my custom colours and I need to save them in a config file and load it every time I play if I want to use my custom colours. Also the UI still uses numbers rather than the colours in the...

Under File, New Givens, you will get a grid with all numbers to select your specific puzzle you may want to solve using HODOKU.

How do I reset the grid in order to enter a puzzle manually?

Yes, the 'default' location is the latest used. Interestingly though, when I open a duplicate HoDoKu from a .jar - that is, a new instance of it from the same file from which a customised version of the program is already running - then all settings in the duplicate are at Default.

Thanks for the GitHub link, I will check it out. I did install the latest Java on my Mac but the result is the same - I still cannot see any subdirectories deeper than the first level under my home directory. I think the default option is whichever directory was last opened in the dialog - though maybe the first time you use it, it is ~/Desktop.
-
Hmm.. I notice if I go directly to Documents, it opens a version saved to OneDrive. Going to my User Account/Documents opens the locally stored directory including all subdirectories. I actually have one .hsol saved directly in my User Account. The default option does seem to be Desktop. ?

Thank you, but this is definitely not the issue. In fact, the dialog does not even show subdirectories of the outermost subdirectories of a user's home directory, so it is not even possible to save it anywhere else. In other words, the only directories under my account that are accessible through the dialog are of the form ~/<directory>. For example, under my account there is a subdirectory called Documents, which contains umpteen subdirectories, including the one where I would like to save my .hsol...
-
It is possible that the program dialog is showing a location other than where the .hsol was actually saved. Try saving a puzzle again and take note of where the file is placed. Then, to open the saved puzzle, navigate to the same location using the dialog. I'm not a Mac user, but hth.
-
The File -> Open Puzzle File menu option is useless because saved .hsol files cannot be seen in the File Picker dialog. Hodoku version: 2.2.0 Java version: 1.0 MacOS version: Ventura 13.1 Does a workaround exist?

In the Search Control panel, type Java Control Panel into the "Search" field, and click the Java icon to open it. In the Java Control Panel, click the Security tab. At the top of the Security tab, check the Enable Java content in the browser box to enable Java. Uncheck to disable.

2 paid programs I know are much worse in supported techniques. I was very surprised when found much better and free. HoDoKu needs support of several another types to be really cool. First of all, support of additional areas, it is very necessary because many types are just based on this. If someone wants to implement this ("Greater than"), I can describe how to check to get next steps. First of all, it is needed to add "<", ">" to the layout.
-
It is the best, imho. I doubt even paid for versions would be better. For one thing, hobiwan was so very accommodating toward feature requests where possible to implement. It was said that other developers are not. There's 100s of open source Sudoku projects available, but I haven't bothered checking them out. Who knows which might be good, or not? https://sourceforge.net/directory/?q=sudoku
-
I saw that no updates, but I thought that it is because it is almost perfect. It is very sad because I don't know anything better (do you know?), even paid. It seems to be the best. It is not hard to implement (while it doesn't look so) because there are no additional advanced techniques.

Because this project project is no longer under development. Its owner appears to have died some years ago.
