I released a new version of
PocketGriddler, available at
http://griddler.davidsoft.org (for free, as always...)
For the people who do not know Griddler :
This game comes straight from Japan, where it is called 'Nonogram' ; the Brittish call it 'Griddler', or 'Paint by number'. Finally, it is Nintendo, with 'Mario Picross', who made this game famous in the videogame world.
The goal of this game is very easy : you have to find out, using deduction, which cells on the grid are empty (white), and which ones are filled (black).
Like in crosswords, you'll have to series of hints : an horizontal, corresponding to the lines, and a vertical, for the columns
Each hint is a serie of numbers (sometimes a single one), which each represent the length of the black cells sequences (the number of consecutive black squares). Pay attention, the white cells are never counted, only black cells.
For example, if the hint for line #3 is "4, 6", then you know that this line is composed of :
- some white cells (0 .. n)
- 4 black cells
- some white cells, but not zero (the sequences of black cells have to be separated somehow)
- 6 black cells
- some white cells (0 .. n)
Easy, isn't it ? But addictive enough to keep you at play !
