abdNiszan, is it easy to make it run in dark mode? It's almost unplayable.

Thank you and sorry for the late reply. It's easier on the eye, but maybe something else can be done?
Maybe what I wanted was something else. I have no idea how webpages work. Have you added color to the black? I already use the dark mode on my windows, and here are how i see the two mods.

It works fine on my machine. Jokes aside though, my first guess is what browser do you use? Or maybe css don't load properly. Maybe it got somehow cached? Have you tried to run it incognito?

Oh, nevermind, I tried it in another browser and it's just like your picture. So I guess my poor Chrome is broken. 😢
And take this as a thank you Sigur Ros - Glósóli.

I don't have the necessary level but I had fun with the Parquet puzzles, thank you very much.

consider myself bested by this puzzle, have a bump though.

Hmmm I see parquet puzzles, it's an insta skip for me. I spent enough time on them to be frustrated, yet apparently not enough to grasp them properly. Thank you!

You can take the puzzle rules and form them into questions you can pose to every tile on the board:
-
Does this half-square square have an option to have a matching half-square on a neighboring tile, potentially forming a full square? If so, that is not possible and can be marked as the other option if you know one of them.
-
If this disconnected bit has only one possible way to go to be connected to the rest of the puzzle, that is the path it will take. Conversely, if there is an unsolved bit in the puzzle that cannot connect to the main body in any way, it means the alternate solutions for those tiles are the correct ones.
-
If a solution leads to you disconnecting the bit from the main body or looping in on itself, it means the opposite of the solution is true.
So yeah, checking for "potential full squares", "potential connections to the main body" and "potential creation of loops" and the opposites of those rules are all you need to check for. Just apply those 3 to every bit of the puzzle until you find one that has a definitive answer, and repeat from there.

I appreciate your detailed answer. I decided to give it another go so your effort didn't go to waste, but after 15 minutes, I'm stuck and honestly, blind guessing at this point. At no point parquet felt satisfying - I was checking the rules you outlined, but at no point I felt like I really knew what I was doing (strategy-wise), just trying things and see what stuck. Solving a puzzle that way is no fun for me, and I'm ready to believe I'll just have to accept I'll miss the GAs locked behind parquet puzzles, period. It is what it is.
PS posting the board the way it was when I finally gave up on it. I was able to avoid isolated bits and 2x2 squares, but unable to link the upper branch to the lower one

I think what's likely to have happened is that you had what you thought a definitive single solution to a bit on the board, but it was actually possible to solve it a second way as well and it snowballed from there. This most easily happens when you try to apply the 'connect to the main body' logic and don't exhaust the possible answers.
I went back and solved it again and I can see that your picture has 4 incorrect tiles. I can understand how the group of 3 got wrong from one missed assumption and the fourth is probably the outcome of clicking after the fact trying random things.
At no point do you have to try random things, except if you count thinking "if this goes there, how does this affect the rest of the board?" Shame it didn't click with you, I found it quite logical

What you described could have happened. Part of the issue I have with parquet is lack of feedback. In some other puzzle games, a mistake compounds pretty quickly and things soon get out of control. In parquet everything goes fine until you're done with the tiles, but found no solution, and suddenly it's like "Where did I go wrong?". That was not really evident for me at any point.
Exhausting all possible answers at each step might sound exhaustive (in a good way for some), but for me it becomes almost rote. It might just be that my brain doesn't work that well with this kind of puzzle, so I'll just stick with nonos hahahah

I've never seen such puzzles. But it was surprisingly easy (not that difficult as it looked when I saw it for the first time). You just need to start from the edges with the blocks that will isolate your black line, and move to the middle. The visual hint helps a lot.

I think I'm starting to get the hang of these parquet puzzles.

Thank you for the cool parquet puzzle and all the QOL improvements you implemented, even if I didn't use them because it felt like cheating. But I imagine if you are stuck for half an hour, this really can safe you from going insane. 💗
And of course thank you for the train and your generosity! 💙

Cool. I like these parquet puzzles. Feels very refreshing to solve them. And even though this board was big, it was quite easy to solve! I remember that the last parquet puzzle was very difficult (one of 2, because one was very easy, the other one was a hard one) because of many alternate possibilities and lack of isolated cells / obvious paths. Also thanks that you added option to colour cells with a different color. It's very helpful when you aren't sure about colouring specific cell.

I'm not particularly good at these types of puzzles, so I'll wait for the easiest option. Thanks and BUMP!

I give up, i cant seem to figure out how
Thanks for the puzzle tho!

Thanks for the game list. Not something I want so I will skip this one. But I did your previous puzzle and enjoyed it. Whitelisted you :)

First time doing this kind of puzzle :) Took a fe tries but I got it =) have a bump!

bump for solved, took way longer than expected... but managed to deductively solved all squares until the last 4 and then see the solutions

Bump! I really need to sit down and try to figure this out some time!

Thanks for the cool puzzle! First time I come across a puzzle of this sort. The "single orthogonality connected group" and "no 2x2 blocks" rules remind me a lot of Nurikabe.
Have you thought about letting others generate their own puzzles? It might make for a good alternative to the usual nonograms.
Comment has been collapsed.
This Nurikabe looks cool.
Yeah, I thought about letting other people use it to generate puzzles, but I kind of hit the block how to make it auto generate, without creating duplicate solution (there have to be one solution because I use it to decode encryption) and making it solvable using logic.
So far I draw them by myself. (But it is kind of clunky)

I'm American, so of course I didn't even know music came in other languages, but here's a beautiful song that's probably new to most folks.
Ermigerd... so I absolutely love the puzzles, you absolutely rock. For no reason I can put to words I think I'm actually starting to understand these as logic puzzles... the first one I solved randomly, the second I solved by throwing crap at the board and then adjusting for the rules, but this one I actually proceeded through logic... very satisfying, though it does make me nauseous with anxiety when i have like 60% of the board filled correctly. My two ideas if you want to incorporate them: 1-- a "step back" button (sort of answered by your right click thing, which I didn't realize because I'm dumb and didn't read first) so you can retrace steps after an error; 2- a "save state" button, (also sort of answered by the right click... I'll read next time, I swear!) so you can just say "alright, my precision platforming was perfect up to this point!"
Comment has been collapsed.
Thank you for tune and feedback.
I didn't thought about step back, it is good idea though.
About "save state", I probably will not do it as a button, but I thought about autosaving progress in cache. (I kinda wished I already did that feature while debuging the puzzle)

finally solved! took me a while (never done one of these before) but i could see myself enjoying them.
bump, and thanks for the train!

Thank you for the tunes, I especially enjoyed the "Estrelar", though I guess it is to late for me to have perfect beach body, maybe next year.

You know what, I'm starting to get a hang of these parquet puzzles. Thanks for the introducing SG to 'em, they're pretty cool. The last like 10 squares had me guess and checking though.

Hello.
You need to be Level 3+ to enter the cart.
Train is sgtools protected by a Custom rule: real_sent_group < 0.50 real_sent_cv
Blacklist Checker
If you have solved the puzzle (you also pressed "Check answear" and it doesn't return error) and don't get sgtools link, I messed up something. (Probably you found second solution)
Puzzle
Easier versions At least I think they are easier, they both lead to same sgtools link.
Puzzle variant 1
Puzzle variant 2
What changed:
-I added alternate coloring, so you can set cells that you are not 100% sure that are correct (They both count as regular answear so you will not have to change them to one color) [Mouse button Left click/Right click]
-At the bottom I added visual hints how you can solve the puzzle by proces of elemination
-When you press "Check answears" button, "Empty areas" error will show if you didn't have any other errors
-You can zoomout if the whole grid doesn't show on your device, also you can scroll it
-Added darkmode
Personal request:
Please share some tunes with me (Preferably non english, so that my youtube algorithm might change)
