Dear puzzle friends,
I am inviting you to visit the new Daily Puzzle page on my web site:

http://www.hausigel.de/rdt/e-index.html

Each day a different hand-made Skyscrapers puzzle (standard or variant) will be presented here. The puzzle can be solved in an applet, the test phase of which ends tomorrow. The DP officially starts on Monday (September 1st).
In case you are not able to solve the puzzles on the respective day, they will remain available in PDF files (probably delayed by a couple of days). Furthermore, a weekly discussion of the DP is planned on my blog.

Enjoy the puzzles!

Hi Roland,

I'm unable to open the demo applet. Is it browser specific or is there some software requirement?

Hi Rohan,
Java (version 1.6 or later) has to be installed and activated in your browser. Plus, there might be a browser issue I just learned about... The applet works on Firefox but apparently not on Safari (and maybe some other browsers). This is something I am looking into right now, although I have very little experience with these matters. Sorry for any inconvenience this might cause.

There seems to be some issue with Chrome. I don't know whether it is a problem with just my browser settings (I see Java is enabled and I have the latest version). Maybe someone else can confirm?

But, it works on FireFox, so, I think that will do for now.
Thanks!

I see the same behaviour. Works on Firefox. Does not work on Chrome or IE.

It looks really nice, but it could be very hard to solve some harder puzzles without marking relatition signs. That is the reason why I often skip skyscrapers at croco-puzzles. Anyway, thanks for such a project.

Different notations are always a problem with applet-solving - I cannot offer a solution at this time (sorry), but I will think about extending the available notations in the future. Thanks for the feedback.
