Introduction

What is NonoSharp?

NonoSharp is an API for C# and .NET10.0, allowing for easy creation and playing of Nonogram (also known as Picross) puzzles. Nonograms are Japanese puzzles where you fill in a picture based on hints given to you. The hints, either on the left-side or top-side of the grid, show how many groups there are in a given row/column and show how many cells each group consists of. By filling the grid one cell at a time, eventually you reach the solution.

Features

  • A fully functional Nonogram game, complete with hint checking
  • An API allowing for game logic to be reused in other projects
  • Randomly generated puzzles guaranteed to be uniquely solvable as verified by the built-in solver

The API

Supported features

Currently supported functions include:

  • Abstracted grid, making it easy to implement in your projects
  • Built-in undo/redo functionality
  • Checking whether the puzzle is solved
  • A hint system, together with whether a hint is completed by the user.
  • Events for cells changing states and the puzzle being solved correctly
  • Generating random uniquely solvable puzzles
  • Loading and saving puzzles to a custom file type

Full repo

The full repo can be found on GitHub. NonoSharp is paired with an example UI consumer built on top of .NET MAUI, found on the GitHub NonoSharp-Maui repo.
