For your purpose you will need to use S_USER_LOGGED_IN.

You are very correct sir!

I meant IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN

Thanks.

This is not possible with the current permissions.
Implementing this would at least be complicated because of the usage of PHP, jQuery and Ajax.

Ok. Thanks.

Maybe I'll construct a simple html file alternative for guests and partition it with IF S_IS_BOT conditional statement. All in the mot ...

How can we grant guests a basic read-only access?
Such that they can see the game board but cannot play until login?

Why would you want to limit the number of puzzles someone can solve per day? IMHO that doesn't make any sense.


Well, I see, you don't see much applications to this simple game. Its fine.
Thanks for the game.

As regards Abort button costing some UP points, I have Solved it.
I modified my mot ...

This is Solved.
I modified my mot_sudoku_main php in controller and now, aborting costs some UP points each time its used.
All I needed.

Solved.
I modified my mot_sudoku_main php in controller and now, aborting costs some UP points each time its used.

On my test board, I wish there's a way to limit the number of puzzles per day a player can play.

Can we consider this for future updates?

Apologies I created another topic for this related support.
This time, I think we can work out a way that the abort action can lead to points deduction from the, say classic points table.

This is what I want sir.
if the totally obtained point is zero, maybe ...

This is what I want sir.
if the totally obtained point is zero, maybe to make it zero or negative. but zero is fine.

make it cost 50 or 100 points.

Please @Mike-on-Tour

Currently, this is not possible.

And to be quite blunt, actually I do not see a reason why an aborted game should cost any points.


Well, you may not see the reason now. But I am testing the program beyond ordinary fun.

What if we conduct competitions with it and really want people to commit ...

Thanks. I'll look at it.

On my test board, I see the need to be able to terminate and clear all games in progress for all players.

How can I do this?

Or alternatively, if using Abort can deduct from the Leaderboard total points.

So, 2 options:

Abort button costs either
1. UP Points, or
2. Leaderboard Sudoku points from previous games.

For my test platform, I consider running it is periodic Tournaments

Thank you.

Dear admin. I would be grateful if you could help me such that the Abort button can charge some set amount of UP points.

The workaround I'm testing now is to make the Button work for only those in a special group.

But I would prefer if it will cost UP points. I undewhy it cannot cost Sudoku ...

One way to accomplish this may be to upload only the number of puzzles you want to have solved while Sudoku is disabled for your members (first setting in the general settings section), then you can enable it at a preplanned time and disable it after the competition time has evolved.
If you reset ...

I'm interested in using this game for tournament style. Like a timed competition.

For example, if I want every participant to solve only 20 puzzles for a time, how can we do that?

Once again, kudos to the author of this game.

It has many potentials. I have many suggestions. Let's make them one ...

Also, I found a way to use js to randomizer the value (1 to 9) of the false digit on each page load.

I would be interested in that, at least to see how it works with honest players.
If you do not want to share it publicly, perhaps you can give it to me by PM?


I'll send DM.
I plan using the ...

It would be possible to initially insert some false digits, but the question is how long the cheaters (as you call them) will take to check that they just have to buy a digit to have the original digits displayed again and then copy everything into a solver.

If I implement such a feature, it ...

People using online solvers may be a problem, but it can not be solved by introducing randomly false digits because that will render the puzzle unsolvable for everybody.
And BTW you can not introduce false digits into the HTML code since that is generated dynamically by phpBB's usage of TWIG.

To ...

Is there a way to prevent this? Ideas are needed.

This is the real way out.


Well, first, I appreciate the developer for this great game.

However, I'm this digital age, many people use online sudoku solvers to beat logical real players talking of highest points and other parameters. What are ...
