A while ago I created a computer-generated Hanjie puzzle. I didn’t get much response from you folks, but lets try again.
The rules are same as for your ordinary Hanjies. The only difference is that randomly generated Hanjie puzzles have a random pattern as the solution, it’s not an image of anything (unless your imagination is really inspired).
If you show interest in these I might start posting them more often.
Oh, just to make things clear: The Hanjie puzzles in all my Picross, Hanjie, Griddlers, Nonograms books ARE HAND-MADE. 🙂
Picross 30×30 for Monday, March 11, 2010.
So, what’s the verdict?
I’ve never done Hanjie before, ordinary or otherwise, so I wouldn’t/don’t know what the rules are. Could you provide them when you provide the puzzle (like you do with Samurai Sudoku) so I’ll know what I’m expected to do?
Thanks
I don’t know why, but the solution file is not downloadable. Is it my problem or is it for everyone? 🙁
It is downloadable now! 🙂
Val, an introduction can be found here:

I suggest you to try with other, smaller Hanjies that can be found in the Hanjie category: http://www.djapedjape.com/category/picross/
Enjoy!
Thank you for repairing the link. 🙂
My solutions never look like the picture anyway, so I’m happy with the computer-generated ones
Late to the party, but I disagree with Christine. The beauty of Hanjie is that the grid forms a picture at the end. However, the beauty is lost here with a random pattern that means nothing. If you want random patterns, go to a site that specializes in that. There’s no need to stoop to what I consider such a low level here. Having random patterns removes the beauty of the puzzle.
