A randomly generated Picross puzzle (Hanjie, Griddlers…)

Computer-generated Hanjie puzzle

I have just implemented a random Hanjie puzzle generator. It generates valid Hanjie (griddlers, pic-a-pix) puzzles but with random patterns – there is no pretty picture in the end! So, if you just like solving Hanjies and don’t care about the picture that you get in the end, this one is for you! If you […]
