What's New
Version 2.5.8:
- Bug fix in 2.5.6 caused paste of text puzzles to sometimes fail if a log panel had the focus; this has been fixed.
- Relaxed a restriction in the Consequence Trees hilighters that caused it to sometimes miss contradictions that had a common "trunk" path. While it's arguable that this restriction is reasonable (and I'll argue it), it's pedantic, unhelpful to the user, and sometimes caused the hilighter to report a verity that, while it had correct implications (and wouldn't steer you wrong), wasn't a "real" verity. Kudos to Setemkia (Fawn) Falling Tree for noticing this.

The range of hints, helps, and learning aids would make it a great sudoku puzzle package alone. The addition of its vast array of keyboard shortcuts, clever UI elements; its puzzle import/export features from websites and files, and most AMAZING, it's OCR and web graphical puzzle IMPORT features make it REALLY exceptional!
Being able to drop a screenshot or scan of a puzzle from almost anywhere onto the window and in minutes (even on my slow 733 MHz G4) have a completely entered and validity checked puzzle ready to play and save is the type of feature thats far beyond the usual scope of this sort of software and makes it absolutely top-notch!
While a cocoa interface would be cool, it's easy to overlook, especially at THIS bargain price!
The word here is: SUPERIOR

I like it because most other programs don't let me make all the notes I'd scratch on paper, whereas this one draws them- without the mess of having to erase on them on paper.
It also takes the tedium out of solving. While I enjoy the real headwork of working out the puzzles (if I didn't, I wouldn't do them), I'd rather hit 'M' a few times and save me the bother of doing something that automatic manually.
While I have had a lot of trouble with the program hanging while importing puzzles, the sheer omnivorous nature of its importer is nothing short of jawdropping. It'll OCR a screen grab, for pete's sake!
(The window is also scalable, which is nice for my super hi-res screen here. Too many programs are tiny little specks on this thing.)
If you're looking for a tool (and a manual) to really improve your solving abilities and understanding, look no further, you're home.

The niftiest feature is that you can drag and drop graphical Suduko diagrams (from the web, generally) and it will actually recognize the numbers and read them in!
When you are on the web, you can just tell the program what difficulty puzzle you want, and it will automatically download as many as you want from a puzzle server.
Highly recommended.
Limitations: it will not create Suduko puzzles on its own. MacSudoku is the only one I found that would.

2) I still don't think it defeats the purpose of the puzzles or of solving them 'on your own', per say. In it's simplest form, it is a tool, which aids in the solving of the puzzles. It does not simply solve them for you (while that is an option). And this is not some sort of 'weak' excuse.
3) There are levels of difficulty inherent to most any logic puzzle of this sort: the less information revealed, the harder the puzzle can be to solve. It is nonetheless solvable, but may require more leaps of the imagination or the use of brute force logic. So, if you can do it all in your head, I commend you. I, personally can't. Yet, I have always loved logic puzzles and Sudoku, by far, fits the bill. And, to me, being able to work out the puzzle on a computer, in the same manner I would on a piece of paper, is a very nice alternative. Now, that' s just me & maybe I spend too much time with my iBook, but simply because I solve the thing on a computer vs. a piece of paper hardly amounts to defeating the purpose of solving the puzzle via my own mind via the use of logic. I'm still doing all the work, trust me. I'm not one to cheat and would much rather leave a puzzle unfinished, then 'forcefully' solved.
4) Yes, I am relatively new to Sudoku and, possibly, as I continue to solve them I will find such software as this pointless or come to agree that it is a means by which I am 'defeating the purpose' of the puzzle. But, until then, I will support it.
