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.
This is the README accompanying the source code to Simon Tatham's puzzle collection. The collection's web site is at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/>. The puzzle collection is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in the source directory: cmake . cmake --build . The manual is provided in Windows Help format for the Windows build; in text format for anyone who needs it; and in HTML for the Mac OS X application and for the web site. It is generated from a Halibut source file (puzzles.but), which is the preferred form for modification. To generate the manual in other formats, rebuild it, or learn about Halibut, visit the Halibut website at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
