Picmi

Picmi is an open source implementation of minesweeper and picross. More game types may be added in the future.

Picross is a number logic game in which cells in a grid have to be coloured or left blank according to numbers given at the side of the grid to reveal a hidden picture.

Minesweeper is a single-player video game. The object of the game is to clear an abstract minefield without detonating a mine.

Controls:

The ingame help provides information about game controls.

Features:

• basic picross gameplay
• no hints mode: do not automatically prevent incorrect tile hits - the player must solve the puzzle correctly without hints. there is no penalty time in this mode.
• randomly generated puzzles with arbitraty size and difficulty
• display which streaks are solved by greying out numbers
• drag locking: during a drag, movement is locked either to the row or column to prevent undesired movement
• drag operation locking: during a right mouse button drag, either all affected tiles are cleared OR marked, not both
• basic minesweeper gameplay
• guaranteed solvable boards (logic only, no guessing)
• statistics / highscore tracking
