PocketGriddler 1.6
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 !

I have a hard time getting this program to stay usable on my VGA X50v. After install it works one time. The next time I come back to use it I get some "throw" errors. Works fine on my QVGA h2215. Thanks David!

Cheers, David. I've stuck a news item up at PocketGamer, too.

I've been gradually getting into PocketGriddler for quite a while now. Unfortunately, it appears to require above average intelligence, which I'm sadly lacking. :P

Thanks for the advertisement on PocketGamer, David ! A lot of people are coming to my website to download PocketGriddler since you posted this ...
EngrPaul, the game was designed for QVGA devices ; I have difficulties making it run on my x50v too, but it's a lot of work porting it to .NET Framework 2 and VGA ; I'll try, though...

Well, for starter, thanks for participating.
I've set up a forum on my website, which should be the logical place to go ; apart from this, comments on the website are welcome, and email is always available !
