Gotta Catch 'Em All! (region drawing in 12x12, antireplica)

(Eingestellt am 9. Juni 2024, 01:15 Uhr von Breush)


Turns out I love puzzles with a constructing phase and a solving phase. Rules are a bit long, but still understandable I hope. Fun fact is that they were twice as long when I first crafted the puzzle (with types interacting differently with each-other). Now they look cleaner to me, even though they are not as much "Pokemony" as they could have been.

Rules:
  • Pokemons are indicated with a circle.
  • Capture each Pokemon within a Pokeball: create a square region of 3x3 cells that contains a single circle.
  • Each Pokeball must contain each digit from 1 to 9. All digits (given included) are within Pokeballs. Digits cannot repeat within their grid line or column.
  • The circle cell of the Pokeball indicates how many cells of the Pokeball touch other Pokeballs orthogonally.
  • Each Pokemon, and therefore each Pokeball, has a type among the following: F for Fire, G for Grass and W for Water.
  • Two cells of two Pokeballs of the same type cannot touch, not even diagonally.
  • Mini-whispers: Two cells of two Pokeballs touching orthogonally must differ by at least 5.
  • Antireplica: Cells at the same position within Pokeballs of the same type must be different digits.

Exciting premise, but the rules are not clearly written and may be a barrier to some.

I would recommend starting by saying "Normal deconstruction rules apply; locate nine 3x3 regions in the grid (each region is a "pokeball"), such that each pokeball contains the digits 1-9 and digits do not repeat in rows or columns".

"Each pokeball must contain each digit from 1 to 9" Edit to: The pokeballs contain a complete set of the digits 1-9.

"Orthogonally connected cells belonging to two different pokeballs must differ by at least 5."

I have never heard the "antireplica" rule called "antireplica". Personally, I think "disjoint" is more common and makes more sense, but this could just be me.

Breush: thanks for the feedback, I think you're right with your suggestions. I will update the rules in a few days.

Do the given digits have to be included in a pokeball?

Breush: Yes, sorry, adding the precision to the rule.
