Simon Tatham's Puzzles

Simon Tatham's Puzzle collection (Which has a mobile app version too!) is a massive library of puzzle games, all of which are exceptionally well coded. I'll be showcasing a few of my favourites!

https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/

First up, we have Mines , which in my opinion is the best version of minesweeper ever released. Tired of relying on RNG in certain situations? This version has you covered. It's always possible to solve Mines if you use the right logic.There are some really cool situations that come up too- the remaining mine count is also part of the logic puzzles!

oh dear is the knowledge that minesweeper may not generate indeterminate mine formations also part of the set of expected... huh. i should try this

Huh, cool to find more people on here finding out about the Puzzles :). I got really into Loopy, which feels like an inverse of Pearl in that it's intuitive to start but then gets much trickier. And maybe I should give Net another go...

I think I accidentally skipped over this one when I went through the whole collection! I will try to play a few rounds sometime.

my current favourite is unequal, particularly the "adjacent" mode of it

Yes!! I love Tatham's implementation of Galaxies, the right-click-drag arrow markers are so useful (and satsifying!) and I don't know if any other solvers have that feature.

Slant is my personal fave :3

So, these games are also impressive because they're all written in C and WASM compiled. You'd never know it from how smoothly they run, though.

I think Net is my favorite I've tried so far. It's a great way to spend a short while.

I had this installed on my phone since March last year. It's my favourite app because it gives me something to play even when my battery only has 4% left and I can still go for another 2 hours. The ones that I play constantly are Guess, Rectangles, and Tents. :eggbug:
