Userscript to streamline Jigidi solving

_INSTRUCTIONS_.md

Jigidi "Magic Stripes" Userscript Helper

( by Dan Q / gmd7z3jyedson2vpgiav )

Installation

1. Install a userscript manager into your browser (it's just a browser plugin!). I use Violentmonkey. A userscript manager makes it easier to run custom Javascript on specific web pages.
2. Install the userscript below into your userscript manager. Once your userscript manager's installed, simply going to that link will probably prompt you to install it.

Usage

1. You'll need a Jigidi account. Make a throwaway one in case it gets banned. The Jigidi account is required because this script has to refresh the page a few times and not lose your jigsaw progress; progress gets saved in a Jigidi account!
2. Go to the jigsaw you want to solve. You'll see a new "Magic Stripes" section is added by the userscript in the sidebar. By default, it's "off" (0). Changing the number and pressing "Go" tells it which column you want help solving. "+1 and Go" increments the number by one.
3. Press"+1 and Go". The page will refresh and the first column's pieces will be highlighted and numbered with their positions; all the other column's pieces will fade out so they don't get in your way.
4. Solve the first column.
5. Press "+1 and Go" again and the page will refresh (this is why you need a Jigidi account: to keep the first column saved!). Now you're working on the second column. The previous column's pieces stay highlighted, but in a lighter colour (this aids matching with the second column's pieces, so you can link them up).
6. Repeat for every other column.

May I suggest increase the font size to 2rem from 14px, and move the text position to (0, 0) from (-5, 0).
It seems that the number is not shown up currently.

May I suggest increase the font size to 2rem from 14px, and move the text position to (100, 100) from (-5, 0). It seems that the number is not shown up currently.
I also saw no numbers, but this does the trick indeed.

Thanks @Dan-Q and @ngoclong19, I really hate solving those Jigidi puzzles!

It seems that the number is not shown up currently.

I can't believe I actually solved 3x 1h puzzles, without the edits from you.
No numbers showed up, and I was getting annoyed that the colors where too similar.

Thank you for this script, it's been awesome so far!

I changed lines 100 and 109 from
this.font = 'bold 14px sans-serif';
to
this.font = 'bold 2rem sans-serif';
And lines 102 and 111 from
this.fillText(${row+1}, -5, 0);
first to
this.fillText(${row+1}, 0, 0);
then to
this.fillText(${row+1}, 100, 100);
None of these changes caused any numbers to appear on the puzzle pieces.

I was moving browsers a little while ago, and somehow lost my Userscripts in the process.
Because of this, I decided to now finally make some backups, starting with this little gem (which I am using a lot for Geocaching!).

I've made some changes to the script.
Above are some of the mentions, but I also switched the colours up a bit, to make them even more distinct from each other.

Below is a gist of my version. All rights reserved to Dan Q, of course.
Just figured other people might find this useful.

Annoying, looks like the script's not working any more. At least the 'Magic stripes' section is not shown.

@ba47-development, Google Chrome browser? Then go here chrome://extensions/ and enable "Developer mode" top right corner.
Working for me in Firefox and Tampermonkey.

@ngoclong19: no, actually its Firefox; I don't like Chrome very much. ;-) I ran the script with Violentmonkey, but finally detected my mistake:

I used the script in another language, not English. It works fine, after I switched back.
Thanks for your help.

I had the same, took a while before I found the problem.
The script doesn't work for languages other than English on jigidi, remove the language abbreviation from the URL and it will work. E.g. https://www.jigidi.com/fr/therestoftheurl ==> https://www.jigidi.com/therestoftheurl

@ba47-development, @AxelFP: You could add this line after the original @match line. The user script will work for languages other than English.
// @match https://www.jigidi.com/*/solve/*

The 'Magic stripes' section is not shown with puzlle like this one https://www.jigidi.com/s/swm1hf/
Thanks for your help

To show row numbers for the previous and target column, change line 100 and 109 from:
this.font = 'bold 14px sans-serif';
to:
this.font = 'bold 2rem sans-serif';

and change line 102 and 111 from:
this.fillText(`${row+1}`, -5, 0);
to:
this.fillText(`${row+1}`, dx+35, dy+45);
