Excellent job, Soultaker! This is a great idea and really well done.

I found jl0bfcsf a little harder, though.

Thanks! If you like jccjjcjj, I expect you'll like bffrbffr too. :P

That's a nice one! I got tricked into submitting a suboptimal solution...

This is pretty fun.
In a reflex, I started dragging instead of clicking to make lines appear. :P

Some suggestions if you're still going to work on it:
- Higher res version? This looks small even on my lappy's rather modest 1366x768 resolution.
- There should be a big "submit answer" button which automatically generates a new level for you if it's correct.
- A high score to proudly post here? Like +10 points for every puzzle solved, -5 for every wrong answer.
- The randomizer doesn't get rid of your inputted lines.
- Being able to set a grid size for a bigger challenge? If you're going to have a scoreboard, the score could be relative to the grid size.
- Maybe some sound effects! The <audio> tag is perfect for this.

Thanks for the suggestions, DaVince! Although I don't think I'll follow most of them...

Although I'm sure the game could be bigger and better, I'm not really an artist, so I'd rather not try to create high resolution graphics and fancy sound effects... the end result would probably disappoint you anyway. If you feel the game is too small to play, you can use your browser's zoom function (Ctrl-+ usually) to make it bigger, but it'll be just as ugly.

- There should be a big "submit answer" button which automatically generates a new level for you if it's correct.

That's what the Verify Solution button is for, although I guess it could be a bit more dramatic. The reason it doesn't auto-generate a new puzzle, is to give the player an opportunity to edit the puzzle or save the puzzle code.

- A high score to proudly post here? Like +10 points for every puzzle solved, -5 for every wrong answer.
- Being able to set a grid size for a bigger challenge? If you're going to have a scoreboard, the score could be relative to the grid size.

I'm not sure this type of puzzle works well in a competitive setting. I think you'd have to take timing into account, in the very least. Implementing a scoreboard sounds like a lot of work. I'll give it some thought, but I'm not promising anything.

- The randomizer doesn't get rid of your inputted lines.

Good catch! I've fixed this.

could this thread be stickied? I dunno about other people but it's pretty much the only thread I come back to this board for.

is that's for how many bugs in puzle agent?

Oooh this is awesome, thank you
