Thermometers [WIP]
Thermometers is a game that combines the fun of grid puzzles with the thrill of the neurotoxin mercury! The puzzle is made up of empty thermometers and the goal is to fill each thermometer according to the rules of the game.
- Left clicking on a tile fills/empties it
- Right clicking on a tile blocks/unblocks it from being filled
- Each blank space in the thermometer must be either filled or blocked
- The numbers outside the grid indicate how many cells in each row and column are filled
- Thermometers must start filling from the head (circular part) and fill towards the tip without any gaps
This is a derivation of rule #1. Each empty tile must be filled with mercury or blocked.
This is a derivation of rule #2.There are multiple ways to fill with mercury in order to satisfy the target number for a row/column.
This is a derivation of rule #2. Cannot have the filled tiles in one row or column exceed the assigned number outside the grid.
This is a derivation of rule #2. Cannot have less filled tiles in one row or column than the assigned number outside the grid.
This is a derivation of rule #3. The thermometer cannot have mercury in a body tile while a previous tile is blocked.
This is a derivation of rule #3. If a segment of a thermometer is blocked all empty tiles of the thermometer after that must also be blocked.
This is a derivation of rule #3. If a tile in the body of a thermometer is filled, all previous empty spaces must also be filled
This is a derivation of rule #1 and rule #2. If a row or column has the needed number of mercury tiles, the remaining empty tiles must be blocked.
This is a derivation of rule #1 and rule #2. If in one row or column the remaining empty tiles and filled tiles match the number of the mercury tiles assigned outside of the grid, then all the remaining empty tiles need to be filled.
This is a derivation of rule #2 and rule #3. If every other tile in a row or column besides the tiles of one thermometer being filled would not meet or exceed a row or column's number then the remaining thermometer must be filled at least the remaining amount.
This is a derivation of rule #2. If a thermometer has more unassigned tiles than needed to satisfy a row or column the additional tiles must be blocked off.
