Funny, Thomas.#2: Dave Oas (khpdave) on May 5, 2013
I hope you don't feel you must make puzzles that everyone will like. You can, and should, create any original puzzle you wish, but those of us who solve puzzles, create puzzles or both, will share our opinions with you about them.#3: Thomas Genuine (Genuine) on May 5, 2013 [SPOILER]
There are some on this site who, like you (I suspect), really enjoy the pure "math and science" involved in this type of puzzle creation but they also understand that others may have more appreciation for the final image, solvability or the discussion a puzzle generates. I hope you will hear more from them as well. There really is a little something for everyone here.
As I'm getting to know you better, I really like your sense of humor and your willingness to interact with the rest of us. I'm glad our comments early on didn't discourage you - they certainly weren't meant to.
Please keep your puzzles (whatever they may be) coming!

I look forward to trying all of your puzzles.#5: Niki Cholette (Niki420) on May 6, 2013
Please don't be offended if I even like some of them :)
I would love to see some of these puzzles that you SUPPOSEDLY make money on.#6: Thomas Genuine (Genuine) on May 7, 2013
Why? :)#7: Niki Cholette (Niki420) on May 7, 2013
I'd love to see what quality the puzzles are that make you money. It should be easy to copy to here so why not?#8: Thomas Genuine (Genuine) on May 8, 2013 [SPOILER]

A nice example of a little puzzle that is interesting to solve.
I like that you are using webpbn to create puzzles to sell. I've often thought that of the people who post puzzles here should pursue that option. I'm not very profit oriented myself, but there are several users here who create puzzle that are quite as good as any of those sold commercially. I deliberately wrote the copyright rules on this site so that it is clear that people who create puzzles here retain full rights to their own puzzles and can do with them as they please.
The program used to check puzzles here is one of my own design, but it is open source and can be used by anyone, anywhere. One of the programs I studied before writing it is by a pair of Czech programmers. I probably would have extended that instead of writing my own if I weren't so bad at reading Czech. That program also had the capability of solving both types of triangle puzzles. I have some ambitions to someday support triddler-type puzzles on webpbn. Browser support of SVG graphics is just getting good enough that it is feasible now.
I'm unfamiliar with the "mixed-order" version. Are the clue numbers for each row not given in the correct order? I suppose you could just sort the clue numbers for each row, since if the order is not given then presenting them in one order is as good as another. That would be relatively easy to support here. The hard part would be to upgrade the checker to be able to check these puzzles. I'm not familiar with any nonogram solving program that can do that.
