Grid puzzles
Hi everybody, Quite a few of my puzzles are based on a grid form and cannot be entered simply as text. I know I am not yet eligible to post puzzles, but I wondered (when the time comes) if it possible. {If it is, then idiot notes on how to do it would be greatly appreciated.} Look forward to hearing from you.

Re: Grid puzzles
Do they take this general format:

Re: Grid puzzles
If a simple grid is needed for solving like in http://perplexus.info/show.php?pid=1264 then you can just put that in above the clues.
If it is a logic problem usually solved using a grid, just submit it with clues.
If it about filling in a grid like http://perplexus.info/show.php?pid=4677 just submit the grid in the problem. |

Re: Grid puzzles
Hi Gamer, Had a look at 4677, but not sure whether my Logidoku puzzle would fit into that. I need to delineate 3x3 grids and irregular shapes, and I don't think I could do that in a text format.
Thanks for replying, Brianjn. I do get the drift of what you're saying, but I'm not sure it would work for my puzzles.

Re: Grid puzzles
Found little info under google for "logidoku", about 6 or 7 entries which didn't help me understand your problem.
I'll send you my email address if you want to get back to me on this. |

Re: Grid puzzles
Hi Brianjn, look forward to receiving your address. Mine is josie.7644@yahoogroups.com
If you type Sudokuworld or Puzzleteasers into Google, you will find some of my Logidoku puzzles (but you will have to join the groups first) Best wishes, Josie |

Re: Grid puzzles
Tried 4 times but your email address is rejected, I get back:
Your message was sent to a group that does not exist.
I've checked and rechecked, even cut and pasted from above.

Re: Grid puzzles
If you don't mind spending time to submit it, we can also look at it when it reaches the queue. If you want to talk about it over e-mail, that works too |

Re: Grid puzzles
I found some examples of Josie's problems and I understand her concerns.
A problem by Salil, Tricky Sudoku, has the potential to be posted shortly. This defines nine cells as blocks of 3 x 3.
Josie's blocks are irregular groupings of 9 cells. Using the same keys as Salil's problem, the borders around Josie's blocks can be so defined.
Unless Josie understands the html tags and < / pre > [deliberately included spaces here else the slash won't show] there will be horrible distortions of the grid.
For Josie's benefit however, if she has difficulty in sorting this, there are a couple of easy options, email someone (I'm available), or just leave it for the scholars to adjust it when it comes up in the review queue.
Hope that helps Josie. |

Re: Grid puzzles
As a last resort, you can submit it as a picture and ask levik to link to it, but a lot can be accomplished with text diagrams. |

Re: Grid puzzles
Message before this, I carelessly did not put in spaces for < pre >, which should have followed Unless Josie understands the html tags
Spaces do occur in html tags but are not needed with these, and so this forum recognised my non-spaced pre tag as being html, operated on it and so my keying disappeared!
Yes, Josie all of the above will work, it's just a matter of choosing what will work best for you. |

Re: Grid puzzles
Thank you, both, so much for your help. Unfortunately, I am a novice on the internet, so I think the best option might be
to send a pdf version to one of you.
I believe I even duffed up on my email address! Brian tells me it is josie.7644@yahoo.com
Sorry, (I rest my case!)
Will be in touch, Josie |

Re: Grid puzzles
Have just noticed I wrote "duffed up" instead of goofed up! Can't even get my words right! Could do with a week to
myself with no interruptions! ......chance would be a fine thing!
I promise you I'll try and buck up.
