does anyone have the javascript for filling in the squares? My IT dept wiped my hard drive while trasfering all my data to my new laptop. Thanks in advance!

done, no greens - a surprisingly easy medium, considering that mediums are usually the hardest :P
7:41 pm
eyeman

I have a sneaky suspicion that everyone who says they finished with no greens is true, because they used lots of reds instead! (Shift + Alt key).
7:42 pm
eyeman

(or a couple of reds)

Hey brittlefish. I've been stealing shamelessly from your scripts for autofill to create an automatic difficulty score generator.
11:02 pm
brittlefish.com

an automatic difficulty score generator?
11:02 pm
brittlefish.com

from my scripts?
11:03 pm
brittlefish.com

the algorithm i usually use is to look for "Difficulty:" on the page, find the next whitespace-delimited word, then assume it's not that.
11:03 pm
brittlefish.com

:)
11:03 pm
drwho

Yes, your scripts show me how to link the Iron Sudoku website to my website where the scoring software resides.
11:04 pm
brittlefish.com

ah, the cross-site loader?
11:04 pm
drwho

I have put the bookmark code in my profile.
11:04 pm
brittlefish.com

19 today, huh?
11:05 pm
drwho

Yes. The void((function(...)()) construct is mysterious, but seems to be necessary.
11:05 pm
brittlefish.com

wait, 19 for 9/8/2008
11:06 pm
brittlefish.com

Wish i could get rid of the timeout. It's just ugly.
11:07 pm
drwho

I seem to have forgot to record my scores the last couple of days, it is possible yesterday's was a 19, but today's is for sure.
11:10 pm
drwho

Ah Ha! Yesterday was a 19 too.
11:12 pm
brittlefish.com

done. no green.
11:13 pm
brittlefish.com

Well, doc, enjoy the scripts. That's a nifty difficulty analysis bit. I'll create a bookmarklet i think.
11:14 pm

Sweet, works like a charm. Have a good evening.

Thanks, and good evening to you too.

Well, I guess this is the "official" announcement. For all you who can't wait for the Dr. Who difficulty score (both of you, you know who you are :). You can now get the score for yourself. My profile has book mark code (or cut and paste it into the address field of your browser) to get the score for the current puzzle.
