A randomly generated Picross puzzle (Hanjie, Griddlers…)

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 […]

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!
