I finally finished Dungeons & Diagrams. I had to return to The Water Temple 3 times on separate days. Eventually I systematically tried all combinations of 2-3 layout options for all 5-6 monster clusters.

I just want a mobile port of DnD

And more of it

Yes, I love the puzzles but I can't replay old ones, and the touchscreen support was not very good. I want to make a mobile DnD app with a UI like Cell Tower and copy-paste-able levels like this:

I did it by racing flesh propagating from the metal with bone propagating from the top, then having the excess bone on the end die off.

Took some fiddling to get everything to come out exactly right with timing, lots of hand-shaped things where one finger was slightly off before I finally cracked it.

I've put together an initial version of a web app with shareable, editable dungeons and diagrams:

Daily Dungeons and Diagrams

it supports linking to the state of a partially solved puzzle: example

Yeah, as you can see it needs a lot of work. In the current version you have to make your browser window narrower to scale the whole grid into view.

I'm having trouble thinking of a good way to mark a tile as empty with touchscreen controls. I guess it could cycle floor -> wall -> marked floor 🤔

I'm implementing a solution checker and here's my current understanding of the laws:

- all row/column wall counts are equal to their targets
- all non-WALL tiles are connected
- each MONSTER is in a dead end (adjacent to exactly one EMPTY)
- each TREASURE is in a treasure room (3x3 block of 8 EMPTY and 1 TREASURE, adjacent to exactly one EMPTY and no MONSTER)
- no 2x2 blocks of EMPTY tiles outside of a treasure room

Daily Dungeons and Diagrams is basically playable now.

I'm still working on designing the puzzle editing interface. For a touchscreen-oriented editor, I was thinking of cycling each cell between floor, wall, treasure, monster, and boss monster, with a field outside the grid to set the default display of each type.

The tarot game is indeed haaard. The undo feature should really include inverting a stack, which is only one logical operation but lots of clicks.

With some effort I was able to force a specific reading:

Once you're happy with your Signal Multiplexer, check out this advanced labeling technique:

Now I want to return to TIS-100. I was never able to complete the Sequence Sorter within the instruction limits.

Sunshine Heavy Industries is pretty cool. Each level is a challenge to build a spaceship with specific constraints. There are a lot of cool puzzles based on adjacency bonuses. And you can optimize for different metrics.
