Added Alternating Maze.
Make a path from the marked Start and End points, where each step is on an alternate coloured tile. A nice and simple game that makes secondary use out of the normal Find A Path code, but tweaks it just enough to be different, and quite a bit harder, too. Views 44, Upvotes 10

Chess Queens

31st October 2018
Added Eight Queens to the mix.
It's an age old puzzle that's existed in newspapers for as long as I can remember, and was alarmingly simple to add into the mix. I'd like to do another Chess based puzzle, but it's proving a teensy bit more complex to generate, and I honestly don't think it's all that difficult to solve once it has done! A puzzle for another day. The Chess Pieces are drawn using the font "Chess Alpha", which I found on this page. Views 39, Upvotes 7

Added Don't Connect Four.
For the past few days, I've been trying to get a "Tic Tac Toe Tactics" game to work, (mostly because the name amused me!) but with only a 3x3 grid it seemed rather unfruitful and somewhat repetitive. Instead, I bulked it up to a 6x6 grid, with a "Don't Connect Four" rule. It seems to work ok, but I'm not sure how solvable the puzzles are. Be sure to let me know if you have too much of a hard time with them. Views 24, Upvotes 9

Cross Fixing
Blog
14th October 2018
Yet another fix for Crossed. I'm really not sure why it occasionally outputs completely blank puzzles.
All very odd. I think it's a memory/variable issue, as it seems to be happening most often when the puzzle takes too long to generate, and curiously empties itself as it does so! Anyway, I've rewritten chunks of it, yet again, in the hopes that it'll finally fix the issue, but ... yet again, it's reset the "Yesterday's Solution" content, so apologies for that.

The triangles weren't too hard to get up and running yesterday, so I also took time to make a completely random letter grid.
The letter grid doesn't really have any specific solution due to it being entirely random, but you're supposed to play it like you would a game of Boggle.. Trying to find words with letters that join up. Views 73, Upvotes 18

Added Critically Triangular.
Aaah, the joys of trigonometry! Also added Word Snake, which doesn't currently have any solutions, because I'm not sure how I could do that! It's an open-ended game, and should at least prove somewhat challenging. In addition, I've also rejigged the puzzle selection menu to make it a little bit neater, sectioning off the games into their various categories, and I've also shuffled the How To instructions to be in the same order.

If you've tried clicking the "Words, Maths, Logic" links on the Foldapuz site, you'll probably have noticed that the templates aren't 100% just of that type.
This is simply because I haven't yet coded enough puzzles for each category. Views 132, Upvotes 17

Added Word Grid.
It's not the best word selection, but at least it works. I did try making it only use "The most common 3 letter words", but it tended to get stuck whilst trying to generate the puzzles due to there not being nearly enough "common" words in the list. I might rejig this game at a later point. Views 32, Upvotes 9

URL Formatting

4th October 2018
Spent an insane amount of time reformatting the URL so that I can add the new Words/Maths/Logic shortcut URLs into the mix.
Seems to function well enough, and should allow people to quickly pick their favourite types of puzzles from the site. Additionally added a very brief set of instructions for the games in the "How To" page. Hopefully that's enough instructions to get the player going. As always, let me know if it isn't!

Tweaking

A quick tweak to the Word Ladder generation. It was getting rather silly, and replacing letters with letters it'd previously used, leading to very repetitive ladders.

Move One Digit

26th September 2018
After realising how bloomin' simple yesterday's version of Solve A,B,C was, I spent an hour or so trying to find the most convoluted of puzzles.
I think the maths should be fairly complex, now, but am more convinced than ever, that figuring out the solution isn't as mathematically simple as it should be. Added Move One Digit, which needed a brief explanation. Currently considering adding a similarly short description to each of the panels. Views 26, Upvotes 8

Further tweaking to the Find a Way maze generator. Things are hopefully a little more varied, now, and I've also upgraded the solution display.
Added Solve A, B, C. (Thanks to Liam Kelk for suggesting it.) I'm not 100% convinced that it's do-able, and will have to sit and try to solve a few of the puzzles over the next day or two.. Quite honestly, my maths brain has melted from all the coding, tonight!! Views 32, Upvotes 8

Wordlist Upgrade
Blog
23rd September 2018
A minor update to the way Word Ladder is generated, which has sped the whole thing up by a remarkable amount.
What took about 3 or 4 seconds, yesterday, now only takes around 0.2 seconds. Optimisation is the key! Technically, instead of checking each and every word in the list, I first ensured the wordlist was properly alphabetised.. Views 18, Upvotes 5
