Ideas for New Features

Open 24ayn5 opened this issue 4 years ago • 0 comments

I'm not sure if this might be asking for too much, but there are a lot of Witness features that aren't available on the app. For example, hex-filled grids, suns that pair up with other clue types (not only squares), differently coloured triangles, and so on.

I've created a list of new features that I'd love to see implemented. Hopefully they're specific enough and not too difficult to code.

  1. Grids filled fully with hexagons. This could be in the form of an additionaly option in the Hexagons section, under the spawn rate slider.
  2. Randomly coloured clues. There could be a final option under all clues (except broken lines and hexes) to randomly choose a number of colours for the clues to build the puzzle with.
  3. Suns that pair with other clue types. (polyominoes, triangles etc.) I've found that the sun puzzle are a lot easier as I can always be sure that the suns will either pair with themselves or with squares. It would be great if the suns could work with other puzzle types too.
  4. Larger polyominoes. This might be a weird suggestion, but as a person who likes challenges, I would love the idea of bigger polyominoes.
  5. Differently coloured triangles. For aesthetic and pairing with suns.
  6. Elimination clues that can work on triangles. It's a little weird that the elimination clue can work on all clue types except the triangles.
  7. Random starting points. This only exists on green panels, and there is no setting for it when creating custom puzzles.

I hope that all of the suggestions were helpful. There are some other features like subtraction polyominoes and pillar puzzles but I think a lot of other people have already mentioned those. I would love it if you could implement all of these suggestions into the game. :)
