hey,

• how can i show the hidden numbers? i didn't see any settings in there...

• i was playing the singles game the other day, and really felt the need to see which numbers i have "removed" or painted over.

• the solution i thought was that the paint to have some transparency to it.

• searched with: singles

There currently isn't an option for it, hence this issue. This is a hidden feature from upstream, it's not even a button-press: you have to click outside the grid (singles.c:1529-1531). This should be made more accessible. I imagine Simon's comment about "per-game option" there means chosen at game-start time (as it affects difficulty?) which is another interesting possibility.

wow, it's awesome that it works on android too. thanks for letting me know about this hidden feature :)

as for it affecting difficulty - i won't say this. as this ain't some inherent part of the puzzle (like in the cubes and black box, the visibility and rememberance kind of is part of it), like here it is pretty visible nonetheless and it's easy to toggle it on/off for a single cell too even without this feature...

bjh21 did this in commit 92ac45fe240b2063455b0b01dedc6ef6996f18af, and it's included in current beta builds.
