In Every 5x6 Nonogram, players can have unique colors that leave a permanent mark in the puzzle grid when nonograms are solved. It's been interesting to see these "turf wars" play out.

I also tried to solve the "where is everyone?" problem by adding a Popular Sections, uh section, to the section selector with per-section online counts. I'm not sure if this is really enough though, perhaps I should have players just land where all the action is in some intelligent way?

Now it supports realtime progress, so you can see every square other players click.

Every 5x6 Nonogram now available to all members of my Puzzarium Patreon page, free or paid.

I've added a lot of improvements this week: dark mode, popular sections, and leaderboards. "Guest play" is coming soon, though account play will be the best experience.

Neat, the Every 5x5 Nonogram game is already #51 in Top Paid Board games (my secondary category). I guess I should enjoy it while it lasts. Maybe we can get to the top 25?

Yeah, the color changes anytime the ones digit is 0. Since you start at puzzle #1 instead of #0, the first color change happens after 9 puzzles rather than 10.

The idea is the laptop will serve as the back glass and run the software, the monitor is the play field. Only cost should be two mounts and a button kit with housing.

Am I missing anything?

I want to make a #virtualpinball machine out of some old parts I already own: a curved ultrawide monitor, a MacBook pro (Intel), and an IKEA storage shelf. Here is a side view of what I'm thinking.
