A friend introduced me to a type of puzzles called Nonograms and I enjoyed them so much that I wrote a script that automatically generates these puzzles.

Nonograms are grid puzzles based on discovering the hidden pattern based on the clues provided. This hidden pattern is the answer to the question of which cells of this grid should be shaded black, and which ones should be shaded grey. The clues come in the form of lists at the beginning of each row and column. The list represents the sizes and order of the groups of shaded cells in that line. For example, if there is a list with the numbers “4 2”, then it says that the group has 4 shaded cells, then one or more unshaded cell, then two shaded cells. Because 4 becomes before 2 in the list, the 4 shaded cells would become before the 2 shaded cells in the line of the grid. Also there must be at least one unshaded cell in between the groups because if there wasn’t, then the “4 2” list would actually be a group of 6 shaded cells.

So have fun with these and let me know what you think.
