IronSudoku Javascript Bookmarketlets
We’ve covered IronSudoku here at Brittlefish and spent some time with autofill scripts to automate the tedious task of filling in green and red notional numbers. We got them to work in IE6 after some Javascript wrangling.

Finally. An IE6 and Firefox IronSudoku autofill script.
After wondering for some time why on earth the IronSudoku autofill scripts would not run under Internet Explorer 6, but were fine in Firefox and IE7, the cause and a solution present themselves at long last.

NOTE: The IronSudoku Javascript works in the Firefox web browser and IE7.

IronSudoku is a great sudoku site based on Javascript and DHTML. It’s a lot of fun and allows you to “pencil in” little numbers that are possible for a box, usually green for possibles and red for impossibles. Left-click a box and a little grid pops up with “1″ through “9″ for you to choose your answer for that box or hold down shift and click the number to get a green penciled-in number, or alt click to get the red variant.

Enter User Javascript

Javascript is a scripting language that has been a part of web browsers for years and is only getting more popular. Most modern websites make use of at least some Javascript. An interesting side effect of deep browser support is that they will run a Javascript script from the address bar, given that it is preceded with the keyword “javascript:”. It will execute the script commands immediately. Given a script, you can simply copy it to the clipboard and then paste it into your browser’s address field.

It so happens that a Javascript has been floating around to auto-fill the greens in IronSudoku. A tuned version is below. You can simply copy the following script to the clipboard by selecting it with your mouse, pressing Control-C on Windows systems or Command-C on Macs. Then with IronSudoku open in another window or tab of your browser, clear the address bar (where it says http://www.ironsudoku.com) and press Control-V (or Command-V on Macs) to paste the script. Then hit Enter/Return.

Completing Flash Element TD, a game covered here a few days ago, is no great task; it might take several tries to get there, but blanketing the screen with combo rockets on level 39 does the trick and might leave you with a nice 13,000 points.

Strategy and Tips

But you will not get on the high score list, not even close. High scores depend on using compounding interest to build your fortunes. Once you have the gold, you can keep buying more lives, upgrading towers, whatever you need.

Walkthrough

Let’s walk through a basic route to 100K points or more. As you’ll see, the placement is not perfect and upgrades are not optimized. Had they been, the score would be better. Regardless, it will give you something on which to build your scores.

The screenshots were taken from a couple different runs through this walkthrough, so the exact placement of towers may shift from shot to shot, but the basic premise is the same. Tune to your liking.
