I worry this coverage is too low, and misses important genres for us like Sudoku (+ variants) and TomTom that have better implementations elsewhere. I could see a role for maybe half of the puzzles we put out with a tool like this. I’m still mainly a pencil solver but I didn’t mind the puzz.link interface for object placement/shading puzzles in my experimentation. While I’ve been pointed at this project before, I hadn’t properly explored it until this trial week. We received positive comments from several solvers, which suggests at a minimum that this year we have to get serious about digital options. We did try this last week for Star Battle, one of the easier styles to think of digital solutions for and where the puzz.link implementation is really good including the ability to add star notes on lines and corners of cells. While I will soon have some of my TomTom puzzles as part of one app-based release, this is the exception and not the rule after 7.5 years.Ī few times over the years, including again two weeks ago, solvers asked us to consider linking out to puzz.link, an open source project that gives constructors an option to share online versions of several puzzle genres. Not necessarily one outlet - our different styles have different needs and a good app for Sudoku/TomTom is probably quite different from a good app for Tapa/Nurikabe - but at least some outlets where we would be content providers. While I am mainly a pencil-and-paper puzzle solver, I always thought GMPuzzles would eventually find some digital outlets.
