Downloading Puzzles

Selecting DOWNLOAD from the FILE dropdown menu downloads the puzzles from a real file you select on your computer and adds them to the sandbox.

• The file is assumed to be in your "downloads" folder and to have a file name extension of .sstx. It will likely be a puzzle set file previously downloaded from some web site.
   
• The puzzles in the file must be in textual form.
   
  • The first line of each puzzle must be its complete file name (both folder and name) and so begins with a forward slash /
     
  • Each subsequent line of the text represents a row of the puzzle.
     
  • The digits 0,1,2,3 in the text represent squares with those numbers in them.
     
  • The letter w (think -W-hitespace) represents a square with no number in it.
     
  • A line beginning with a # is considered to be a comment and is ignored.
     
  • A blank line is ignored.
     
  • To see an example of the textual form, click the EDIT button.
     
• The actual name used to store a puzzle in the sandbox will be prefixed with a folder name you select so that existing puzzles are not overwritten.
   
• Except that puzzles already in the that folder (from a previous download ??) would be overwritten.
