How do YOU Sleuth, I ask? :O Do you memorize alibis, etc., open Notepad, or what? Personally, I open Notepad. It makes the Sleuthing process much easier for me.

I've got a spreadsheet I use to play Sleuth with. I've only put a few hours into it, but it helps me quite a bit. I don't want to break any rules here, so if someone could PM me with the proper etiquette for posting a link to my site with the file on it I will gladly share it with everyone.

Ack! well, that's what I get for not looking at the other pages in this thread. Sorry, not trying to waste bandwidth, but here is the link:

Click on the Sleuth quick link to get to it.

[Disclaimer: I used information from Naomi's webpage in the spreadsheet. I had already been using my own design but once I found the information gathered on that page I integrated it with my own. If anyone objects, especially Naomi, I will take the file off my website immediately.]

*laughs* This is crazy.. a notebook with 1000+ cases.. people that create their own forms ... (by the way, can we download it? ;)) jskdn, I'm beginning to think this "12 Step Program" you mentioned may not be so mythical...

I was wondering is there anyway of adding a motive box... that's what I lose track off the most, then I waste questions by asking when everyone has one. I'm really paranoid since I had two Witness evidences, a fake alibi and one physical evidence and no sblibi with one of my boy detectives... I know there's a note section, still it would be easy to click on button :) Otherwise I'm loving it, thanks so much!

There is now an alternate Sleuth helper available on the http://members.optusnet.com.au/hongus/Sleuth_helper/ page, without the different difficuly variables listed. This is in case you want to have the 'joy' of working it out the different difficuly settings yourself... I realise it's a bit spoiler-ish to have it all listed there for you already (not that the data's necessarily correct).

Also, if you want to modify Sleuth helper for your own use, go right ahead - open it up with Notepad, and if you know a bit of HTML it's not a problem to add a field or checkbox somewhere (like with Lady Emerald Devon's suggestion about a motive box).

The code you want to insert is <input type="checkbox" value="motive">. That will give you a box you can click on and off.

So it would look like this as you insert that line for into each of the ten suspects:
3 <input type=text name="suspect 1" size=10></input>
<input type="checkbox" value="motive">
<select name="suspect alabi 1">

Hope this helps!
