New puzzle: 'Mosaic'.

Browse Source 
This is similar in concept to Minesweeper, in that each clue tells you
the number of things (in this case, just 'black squares') in the
surrounding 3x3 grid section.

But unlike Minesweeper, there's no separation between squares that can
contain clues, and squares that can contain the things you're looking
for - a clue square may or may not itself be coloured black, and if
so, its clue counts itself.

So there's also no hidden information: the clues can all be shown up
front, and the difficulty arises from the game generator choosing
which squares to provide clues for at all.

Contributed by a new author, Didi Kohen. Currently only has one
difficulty level, but harder ones would be possible to add later.

You are given a grid of squares, which you must colour either black or
white.
Some squares contain clue numbers. Each clue tells you the number of
black squares in the 3\times\.3 region surrounding the clue \dash

Mosaic was contributed to this collection by Didi Kohen. Colour design
by Michal Shomer. The implementation is loosely based on

\H{mosaic-controls} \I{controls, for Mosaic}Mosaic controls
To play Unruly, click the mouse in a square to change its colour.
Left-clicking an empty square will turn it black, and right-clicking
will turn it white. Keep clicking the same button to cycle through the
three possible states for the square.
If you hold down the mouse button and drag, you can colour multiple
cells in a single action.
You can also use the cursor keys to move around the grid. Pressing the
return or space keys will turn an empty square black or white
respectively (and then cycle the colours in the same way as the mouse
buttons), and pressing Backspace will reset a square to empty.

\dd With this option set, the game generator will try harder to
eliminate unnecessary clues on the board. This slows down generation,
so it's not recommended for boards larger than, say, 30\times\.30.
