Comment(by digitalnature):

 a basic example:
 {{{
 class test_widget extends WP_Widget{
   function test_widget(){
     $this->WP_Widget(false, 'test');
   }

   function widget($args, $instance){
     echo 'front-end';
   }

   function form($instance){
     print_r($this);
   }
 }
 add_action('widgets_init', create_function('',
 'register_widget("test_widget");'));

 }}}

 $this->id, $this->number and other variables are only available after you
 press the Save button.
