Puzzle 10 / Nurikabe 3

2012-03-03 (33 words) filed under Puzzles

A ratio-preserving enlargement of the janko.at sample invocation puzzle, perhaps. I wanted to try using smaller clues. Finally a grid too large for full-size displaying! Is that even supposed to be an achievement?

Man, hacking new puzzle types into the image generator is an amazing way to procrastinate.

Puzzle 8 / Fillomino

Hey, a “theme” (look at the corners)! Honestly though I’m just spreading out my puzzle posts so there’s some illusion of regularity.

Puzzle 7 / Slitherlink [All Twos]

2012-02-22 (49 words) filed under Puzzles

It’s 2/22 and I have low standards. This is a normal Slitherlink, except all the 2s have been given to you. Thus, empty squares cannot have exactly two edges around them. Of course it’s been done before (guess who?) I appear to be drastically overshooting a monthly schedule :P

Puzzle 6 / Fillomino

2012-02-21 (171 words) filed under Puzzles

Not actually my first try, but I guess I don’t need to resort to 6x6s to fill up my quota just yet, do I? Okay for the absolutely uninformed, this is a Fillomino (or see MellowMelon’s rule page). I’ve switched to 32x32 pixel cells because they seem a reasonable size and it’s possible to express all pixel sizes as an exact floating-point fraction of the cell side so my image generator can be used in a general way to get perfect stroke thicknesses without worrying about any rounding errors no matter how obviously numerically insignificant they would be in this case.
