ScriptCross - Picross in Puzzle Script

Just a simple one, but in the spirit of sharing, here it is:

Ahah, I briefly thought you had somehow encoded the verification rules in there as well from just the border description, but it's still cool :D

Actually, I was thinking of going the other way and trying to get it to auto generate the clues from the level. Let's see how I go. :)

A bit of an esoteric exercise, but if you can figure out how to do it, cool :)

I found three mistakes in the hand-written clues – one in level 2, two in level 4. Here’s a version with those fixed: http://www.puzzlescript.net/play.html?p=6870004.

Automatic clue generation sounds like an interesting challenge.

Also, here’s a version that prevents the cursor from moving over the border: http://www.puzzlescript.net/play.html?p=6870175. I’m not sure if it’s better, because you might want the cursor off the board sometimes so you can look at the picture without distractions.

Ah, thanks Rory, I knew I should have triple checked the clues before posting. Maybe if I'd used the puzzlescript level editor that could have been avoided.

Thinking about the border thing, it just occurred to me that implementing action on clues to grey them out so you knew which one's you'd already met might be helpful.

Even better, automatically gray out filled-in clues, the way Picross DS does. Though that is best implemented after you implement automatic clue generation. Then you could just implement graying out as an extra behavior of clue generation, and have clue generation happen after every move.

Sweet, I just managed to get automatic clue generation going here: http://www.puzzlescript.net/editor.html?hack=6883021

Seems to work a treat so long as there's enough border space to fit the clues, and it makes the levels cleaner in the code. :)

Awesome.

Was about to make a Picross clone then decided to do a sweep of the forums. I think yours is pretty much spot on. I made a small personal cosmetic change: I added numerals instead of the dice style numbering. I did split coloration so they don't run on to each other too badly.

Excellent work, man!
