Default [Dixonary] OT: Game Doesn't Start

One of the puzzles I like is the Life Sudoku:
Â*Â*Â* https://www.mindgames.com/game/life+sudoku

The problem is that the game won't start.

Does anyone have any ideas about what might be wrong?

It sounded interesting so I tried to access it with my phone...and got this

Thanks for giving it a try. At least I know it's not just me. What
homepage should I be visiting? Probably the homepage for your phone's
service provider. Which probably wouldn't help me because I want to run
the game on my computer. Ah, well.

I am able to access it on my laptop though. Do you have "Flash" available?

Adobe Flash is widely considered to create multiple security loopholes. More and more browsers are refusing to run it, will run it only on a page-by-page basis after getting a specific user OK for that page, or constrain it in other ways. More information, if anyone cares, on this page:

https://www.csoonline.com/article/31...ng-scared.html

or dozens of others that will turn up in a Web search.

The good news is that there are several Sudoku games for all platforms that don't depend on Flash. You may have to look around to find one you like, but they're out there.

I've heard that but have some sites that won't run without it. I can set it to "Ask to activate." Is it safer to do that than to automatically run it?

I'd say it is, because then you can agree only for sites you trust (like presumably Life Sudoku).

I just accessed it. I had to go through several layers of waiting for ads
to run, and then time out so I could "skip ad" and then activate Flash.

I suspect if you have an ad blocker running, you never see the initial ad
that they require you to watch before loading the game. Other than that...
loading and running flash seemed to work.

What browser are you using? I use Firefox...and can help only with that.

How would I know whether or not I have Flash available?

Thanks for giving it a try. At least I know it's not just me. What homepage should I be visiting? Probably the homepage for your phone's service provider. Which probably wouldn't help me because I want to run the game on my computer. Ah, well.

To the best of my knowledge I am not running an ad blocker. I am
assuming, here, that in order to run an ad blocker I would have to take
some specific action. And surely I would notice that.

I am running Firefox. I am assuming that in order to be running an ad
blocker there would either have to be a default setting to do so, or I
would have to have taken some action to run the ad blocker.

I think the ad blocker message is incorrect and there is something else
going on that is causing the message to appear.

Default Re: [Dixonary] OT: Game Doesn't Start

In Firefox, if I click on Tools, Options, Add-ons, and Plugins, I have "Shockwave Flash" listed. I've changed that to Ask to Activate. Perhaps someone else can help: It appears that Firefox only supports Adobe Flash. I can search for that, but I can't advise you any further.

Adobe Flash and Shockwave Flash are the same thing. Possibly different versions but when Adobe bought The Macromedia product line in 2005, Shockwave Flash was part of the package along with a cluster of related Macromedia and Shockwave products.
