a neat little development transpired in the world of abstract logic puzzles. puzz.link, a major resource for puzzlers everywhere due to its puzzle editors/players and database, recently merged with pzprxs, a fork of puzz.link that specialized in types of puzzles not already implemented on puzz.link. i took the opportunity to transcribe any of my old puzzles that can now be supported, and i’ve prepared a selection focusing on statue park, one of my absolute favorite puzzle types. statue park rules!
statue park rules
place the bank of shapes into the grid such that each shape segment occupies one cell, no shapes overlap or share an edge, and all of the unoccupied cells connect orthogonally in a single group. shapes can be rotated/reflected. each black circle indicates a cell occupied by a shape, and each white circle indicates a cell not occupied by a shape.
