20th June 2008 - Possible Problem With Possibles

Try saying that 3 times fast!

An error seems to have started happening if you play Puzzle Daze on either Linux or Mac OSX. If you double-click anywhere on Puzzle Daze it loses keyboard focus and won't let you enter any numbers. There doesn't seem to be anything we can do about this as it's not a programming problem but some flaw with the Flash player. You'll notice this the most when trying to enter possible numbers as the easiest way is to do so is to double-click a square to enter the number. There are a few rounds for this. The first is not to double click the square. Instead, single click (to turn it purple) then wait a moment and single click again which will turn it yellow. As long as you leave a long enough pause between the two clicks you'll still be able to enter numbers. Another alternative is to double-click as normal and then single-click in the area between the Reset and Quit buttons. This gives keyboard focus back to Puzzle Daze without de-selecting the square. Finally single-shift-clicking to enter possible numbers should still work as well

Version 1.2 of Puzzle Daze has been completed. Apart from a couple of bug fixes the main change is new ability to double-click squares to add possible numbers. Don't worry, you can still shift-click if you want but we think you'll find the new double-click mechanism nice and smooth.
