How to Play Kurodoko
Objective
Fill some cells with black dots so that all white cells form a single connected area and all numbered cells show the correct count of visible white cells.
Rules
- All white cells must be connected horizontally or vertically (not diagonally) to form a single area.
- Black cells cannot be adjacent horizontally or vertically (only diagonally).
- A number in a cell indicates how many white cells (including itself) can be seen in a straight line horizontally and vertically from that cell. Black cells block the line of sight.
Example
3
5
3
5
3
In this example, a cell with number 3 means you can see exactly 3 white cells (including itself) when looking in all four directions (up, down, left, right). Black cells block the view.
