Is it possible to get hold of a new SE gui version with the fixes - or is there a way to run the gui from the fixed .jar ???
or build it myself?

In a Command Prompt window, e.g. ... java -cp FIXED3SudokuExplainer.jar diuf.sudoku.gui.SudokuExplainer

or from an Explorer window, double-click on the *.jar file

[lksudoku]

Or in the command line type

java -jar FIXED8SudokuExplainer.jar

the 8 can be changed to whatever version you choose

[daj95376]

Or in the command line type

java -jar FIXED8SudokuExplainer.jar

the 8 can be changed to whatever version you choose

The last "fixed" version that I've seen was for version 6. Where's the announcement/link for the later versions?

It was announced in this thread http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/post205582.html#p205582

Fixes g and h, although these are more of enhancements than fixes, and they apply only to serate

Thanks for the help guys.

Merry Xmas All,

Added a command line option for serate to rate puzzles in batch mode, where all lowest rating hints of same rating are applied concurrently, to use this mode add the argument -b or --batch to serate command line
command line option description:

This change only effects serate, and only when the new -b or --batch command argument is used

Is there a command line switch to get serate to output the solving steps / path?

I'm having problems with serate. Here are three different execution lines. Only the last returned timing information; but I have no confidence that the batch mode option was recognized.

Code: Select all

java -Xrs -Xmx500m -cp Fixed8SudokuExplainer.jar diuf.sudoku.test.serate -b -t
 -ipuzzles.txt -orated.txt -f"%g ED=%r/%p/%d"


java -Xrs -Xmx500m -cp Fixed8SudokuExplainer.jar diuf.sudoku.test.serate -b --time
 -ipuzzles.txt -orated.txt -f"%g ED=%r/%p/%d"


java -Xrs -Xmx500m -cp Fixed8SudokuExplainer.jar diuf.sudoku.test.serate --batch --time
 -ipuzzles.txt -orated.txt -f"%g ED=%r/%p/%d"

>> 224.78 seconds


Maybe it's time to include the "run-time options in effect" as part of each run's output.

That would be a handy little bit of output prior to rating a long batch, only to realise that one had a parameter wrong...

3 more fixes/enhancements to serate

i.
Fix serate parsing of command line input arguments, there was a bug causing it to skip arguments appearing after a one letter command switch that has no argument, fixed in this version

j.
"run-time options in effect" was added as part of each run's output to the screen

k.
Added a command line option to output serate solving steps, the steps description is the same as the description appearing in the GUI version under the hints classification tree, use -l or --log to view the steps
For batch mode, each batch step lists all the hints done for the batch group of moves

Code: Select all

  -l, --log
      log the steps done while rating, print the technique moves done while
      rating the puzzle


The update only effects serate

Numbered this version as 1.2.7.3 (serate only), can be downloaded from this page

yes, with -cp i expect you must use the -- ( double hyphen ) for our options

No, the -cp makes no difference, the problem was fixed with fix (i) of version 1.2.7.3
