  • Picross Touch Version 2.00 Changelog - 2 May 2018

    Big update this round. Feel free to leave comments if you find issues, or want to discuss a feature. I kinda lost track of what I have added, but this is a list of the major changes: Added a Theme Editor with full steam workshop support. Added a Theme Browser. Modified the Options page to include Help on Hover. Added an in-game Zoom. Grid too close? Zoom it out. Added a "Go to Next Puzzle" option. This will automatically find the next incomplete puzzle.

  • Picross Touch 1.93 Changelog - 21 January 2018

    Version 1.93 brings a big update to the Puzzle Solver used in the Editor. A Picross Touch player by the name of Patrick Hogg decided to write a picross puzzle solver for fun. He then contacted me and provided me with the source code to his solver. His implementation is so efficient that it allows for larger puzzles to be validated. He allowed me to use his code, and I implemented it into Picross Touch. Full changelog: Added support for 30x30 and 35x35 puzzle sizes. Replaced puzzle solver with Patrick Hogg's implementation. Removed the auto-zoom feature in the Editor. Fixed a small bug with leaderboards. Make sure to set your FPS Lock option to 240 for larger puzzles. This will provide much more fluid drawing. Please report bugs if you encounter any. Thanks.
