Explainable Minesweeper: Conquer Mines with Logic, Not Luck!

Tired of relying on luck in Minesweeper? This new game, "Explainable Minesweeper," uses AI to generate levels solvable entirely through logical deduction. The author delves into common "50/50" situations and advanced deduction techniques, creating a natural language-based hint system to help players understand and apply these strategies. Supporting multiple languages, the game aims to bring the pure logic of deduction to a wider audience, eliminating the need for guesswork in Minesweeper.

Generating Complex Logic Puzzle Maps with WFC

Generating Complex Logic Puzzle Maps with WFC

Logic Islands, a puzzle game, features six different rulesets for its maps. Initially, the developer used a traditional backtracking algorithm, but for three rulesets, map generation failed beyond 7x7. To overcome this, the developer cleverly applied the Wave Function Collapse (WFC) algorithm. By redefining tile types and their connection relationships, and setting constraints based on different rules, the developer successfully used WFC to generate large maps (up to 12x12) that satisfy various rules, solving the previous map generation problem. This case demonstrates the power of the WFC algorithm in generating complex logic puzzle maps and the importance of thinking about problems from different angles.
