wow... nice work!  Picross was always one of those games I loved, so keep it up!

One thing, though, why is that topic in E:SoR? Is it just because it uses E:SoR engine?

Yes. Zera was actually wanting to do some sort of minigame for E:SoR. I'm not sure this is gonna be it since there's compatibility problems with respect to the actual game. So, who really knows?

Oh, I also put it in the E:SoR topic just to find out who picks up on it if they didn't read the first post.

Also, I was successfully able to solve the puzzle using methods that an actual player would employ. For more information about solving nonograms, this seems like a good site: http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/~ss/nonogram/solve

Oh I see. A mini-game, now that sounds like a nice idea. Kinda like FF1 world map mini-games, right?

Lol interesting way to quit, I like it. I myself often found myself accidentally quitting games because some games have CLEAR or MODE used to access the in-game menu but I forgot that game used them to quit instantly.

Sorry to hear about the grayscale quality I hope you can get it to look better.

I'm gonna go ahead and discontinue the project 'till further notice. The move was made because I spent a wee bit too long on this and I need to get back to coding E:SoR. This post contains a download of the binary of what I have so far. There's a lot of space leftover if you want me to add more puzzles sometime in the future. If you want to create your own puzzles, make it out like the following:

05,05  ;width, height
11111  ;it's a square :)
10001
10001
10001
11111
Editor macros can and will be used to format the thing into something that can be used proper. The max width is 15 and the max height is 10.

If you have many puzzles, do me a favor and put them all in a text file or something. That way, I can use that nifty forum feature to grab all the attachments in one go.

EDIT: Puzzle theme was changed, so it'll appear different. 2ND is to "chisel" a tile and DEL is to "mark out" a tile. When you win, you have to hit MODE to get back to the puzzle selection. At any rate, MODE is to go back. Also, changes made in this version versus the prior one also cleans up the puzzle area to make it "look" completed.

I haven't played Picross in a while, but I believe that the way you stack the sets of multiple numbers in the screenies, and the way the numbers are stacked in other Picross games are in reverse. You should try just writing the numbers out in the opposite direction. I'm not completely sure though so don't quote me on it.
