Hey, I'm very excited about the new genre, I enjoy Arrows puzzles but I'm having difficulties solving them on the site. Would it be possible to make it so that you can mark where an arrow is *not* pointing? What I do when I solve them on paper is I put a cross in the corner or the center of the side of an arrow cell and it's a huge help. I hope you can add it to the applet.

Implemented!

Ah I'm sorry, I had to undo this again for now, because it made the arrows solutions as stored in the database invalid. Your feature will return in the near future after we find time to make the proper modifications to the existing puzzles.

Well it's a good thing there aren't a whole lot of them yet then, isn't it?

Thanks for implementing it, although I didn't see it in the 20 minutes it was up

You can get a preview by going into the studio, pick the arrows genre, copy paste the code below into the field below the design applet and click the arrow to continue. Then the right mouse button gives you the crosses, the left mouse button gives the arrows as usual.

Code:

 + 
 translate -8 -8 kk 
 translate -8 -2.66 kk 
 translate -8 2.67 kk
 translate -2.66 -8 kk 
 translate -2.66 2.67 kk
 translate 2.67 -8 kk 
 translate 2.67 -2.66 kk
 translate 2.67 2.67 kk

That's perfect, just what I was looking for. I hope it works out

In a coordinated effort, a few minutes ago Thierry and I made the necessary changes to all Arrows puzzles!

Thanks guys, and thank you for the e-mail, Johan. I haven't solved them all yet but it does indeed make it easier, I hope others find it useful too
