PaintByNumbers Commentary"Nonograms", "griddlers", "picture crosswords" - Version: 1.0, 2/22/2006 07:47AM PST

Yes, the more common names for these kinds of puzzle -"Nonograms", "griddlers", "picture crosswords" ought to appear in the description so that people searching for those kinds of puzzles at versiontracker will get a hit on this nice little app. Maybe the developer will slip them in there.

Great: The source code is included, so the various missing features requested here may be added by 'anyone'.

Not so great: A bit beyond me to hack those features into the app. Maybe one day...

PaintByNumbers CommentaryNice but it could be improved. - Version: 1.0, 7/19/2003 05:04AM PST

I've had another program just like this. LogicPICT (latest version 1.5). Problem is it's in Japanese. The Japanese one does things like: Checks off the reference numbers when you've completed that section, gives mouse reference, color puzzles (those are cool), even solves puzzles for you (just put in the numbers instead of the blocks). And a whole lot more.

It's only in Classic and I don't think it's supported anymore but it could be a good reference for things to add to this program.

PaintByNumbers ReviewGreat game. Only… - Version: 1.0, 4/12/2002 12:22PM PST

a few additions would make this perfect. I've been using it for a long time, but decided to come post a comment. I wish there was a way of highlighting the row and column numbers that correspond to the current mouse row and column, for easier lookup. I also wish completed rows and columns could go grey, or something, i.e. disabled, to show they're finished. Also, the app's application menu thinks it's called MyApp. And lastly, the Read Me is a little sparse. It doesn't tell you that holding command, shift, or command+shift change what you place down. But a great game nonetheless.
