Range – Limit the Visible Distance with Black Squares – Puzzle Game
Range
Range is played on a rectangular grid. Some of these cells have numbers in them. Each cell may be either black or white. The object is to determine what type each cell is.
Your job is to colour some of the squares black, such that several criteria are satisfied:
- no square with a number is coloured black
- no two black squares are adjacent (horizontally or vertically)
- for any two white squares, there is a path between them using only white squares
- for each square with a number, that number denotes the total number of white squares reachable from that square going in a straight line in any horizontal or vertical direction until hitting a wall or a black square; the square with the number is included in the total (once)
Range is an implementation of a puzzle game invented by Nikoli, a Japanese publisher that specializes in games and, particularly, logic puzzles.
Game modes:
