Dude, I'm so totally hooked to this game.

Only today, I completed one of the puzzles (I'm not going to say which it is) and THIS is what I saw:



I was all like "Yay a happy kitt- Wait. What?! o_O"

I am extremely amused.

Also, once I finish the puzzles on the game Idran so kindly provided me with (which is soon - there are 32 of them on that page), I plan on making a couple of my own if anybody is interested enough. <p><div style="text-align:center"></div></p>

I still don't get it <p><div style="text-align:center"> </div>
<div style="text-align:center"> </div>
<div style="text-align:center"> </div></p>

"It's a goddamn furry" is what amused me there, in case it's not that clear :P

Unless Cho means he can't understand the puzzle game. <p><div style="text-align:center"></div></p>

Second thing. It is beyond my understanding. <p><div style="text-align:center"> </div>
<div style="text-align:center"> </div>
<div style="text-align:center"> </div></p>

I just solved that one, too.

Okay. The playing field is 15 by 15, and the blue lines are there just so you can add up units quickly.

The numbers represent grouped blocks of colored in squares. They are in order, and do not touch.

SO. If a column has, say, 15 in it, you know the entire column is colored in. If it has 14, 14 of the blocks are colored in and one isn't--you'll learn which ones based on other clues.

If a column has the numbers 2, 3, 1, and 1, you know that first you have a group of 2...then at least one empty spacer block...then a group of 3 blocks...another empty spacer block...1 colored block...another empty spacer block...1 colored block.


There are a lot of other logical rules, but you can figure those out. The above is/are the basic rule/s.


[edit] Forgot to mention--number 2 is by far the easiest to start with. <p>

Motherfucker this game is hard. <p>-_-___-___-___-_-

Once you finish TimmyK's site, this is the one I've been using most recently for other Picross puzzles. :O

www.griddlers.net/

It includes multicolored puzzles, multi-grid images, "triddlers" (triangle-based instead of square based), and grids of any size from 5x5 up to 50x50, both square and rectangular.

When compared to TimmyK's site:

Pros
You can save puzzles.
Wider variety of puzzles
It gives you an indicator when a row matches the blocks. (Not that it's necessarily right, but that you've accounted for every block given in that line.)

Cons
You can't cross off numbers.
The interface is more difficult to get a handle on.


Also, for a while I thought you couldn't mark areas at a time, but I discovered just recently you actually can by holding down Alt when you click. You can also shift-right-clicking to leave a circle (shift-left-click to remove it), but this doesn't keep you from marking the square as filled. This way you can use it as a marker for various purposes.

Filling in squares works like Paint in this version; you have a left-click and a right-click color. There is a bar on the right side that displays every color used in the puzzle. Left click one to pick up that color for left-click filling, and the same with right-clicking. The first color is always "erase" (neither empty nor filled), and the second color is always the "empty" square color.


Also, an important note for if you do a multi-colored Picross puzzle here: You do not need an empty square between two lines of squares of two different colors. Only if they are the same color. <p><hr />

oh shits~

Thanks so much idran! I was worried what I'd do when I finished them all. <p><div style="text-align:center"></div></p>

I hate you all. You've gotten ME hooked on this now.

Thanks a lot, jerks. :{

That shit is awesome, but I really wish it would remember what you've done and what you haven't, since I tend to skip around if I'm having trouble on a particular puzzle. <p><div style="text-align:center"></div></p>
