A page with an example solved puzzle would be great at the top, so one can quickly explain/see how to play, and thus play with other people. This would avoid one having to go to the solutions page and thus potentially avoid showing the solutions to all the puzzles.

Thanks for the suggestion. Teaching how to solve is really important.

50:09 I’ve mostly been using ReportLab for my PDFs. I tend to use Cairo for PNGs and EPS files, and I have some util files that bridge the difference between them a bit so I can reuse the same vector rendering routines across both. Happy to send you the python script I wrote that prepares Circle 9 PDFs, using ReportLab, if you want to see a familiar looking example.

2:28:59, you can use VSC, in the line rows you click and set a breakpoint, then press F5 and select the default Python Debugger. When the code reaches your BP, it will stop at that line, and then you can hover a variable and see its value (sry for my english) PD: very interesting video!!

Interesting topic! 👍 I am trying to generate pdfs in an order with qqwing. And yeah, beeing new to the topic. Nice content! I hope I can learn something from your work. Saving it for the later developer me 😅

@jkdewar Ай бұрын

Awesome! Good luck with your project. My videos aren't intended as tutorials, but maybe something can be learned from them. Probably lessons in what NOT to do lol. Python with cairo is really quite easy to work with. I recommend it if you're familiar with Python.

21:10 You can force the cache to clear and reload everything with the DevTools. Press F12 then go to the “Network” tab and check the “Disable cache” box. This makes web development much easier ✌.

@jkdewar Unfortunately that doesn't fix it. The grid appears as a black square, so it could be a dark theme issue. I'm using Firefox Android mobile in Dark theme, although the issue persists when I switch to light theme, even if I show the page as Desktop. It is working on Chrome Android mobile.

I do love the "undo" button - much better than having to to a complete Restart. Did you intentionally remove the feature where the cells that have been completely satisfied would dim when using the "Check" button?

I love these Blueberries - both versions. I upgraded and donated just for them! That being said, sometimes my focus is fractured and I've lost my place. Do you have any extended techniques like you do with Circle 9? Watchiing those techniques made me a fan of Circle 9 as well.

Hi James, could you elaborate on your logic at 7:20? I’m quite following that move.

@jkdewar 2 ай бұрын

Let's call the block in the bottom-left "A" and the block in the bottom right "B". Blocks A and B each must place 3 berries in the bottom two rows (Row 8 and 9) because all of their grey squares are contained there. That means all 6 berries (3 from A + 3 from B) in Rows 8 and 9 are accounted for. (They are all inside of blocks A and B.) Therefore, the cells in R8C7 and R8C8 cannot be berries, since they are outside of A and B.

5:19:50 I know that feeling. But as you say, it does help a lot 💯. Talking to yourself is a good way to explain what you're doing, what you're failing at, so you can understand it better. There is an article on Wikipedia called Rubber duck debugging, this way I avoid being called crazy 👌.
