How it works
For those of you who don't know what a picross is. It's basically a grid of random size, typically 15x15. You've got numbers on the X axis and numbers on the Y axis. Using these numbers you're supposed to figure out what the pcture in the grid is supposed to be.
So let's take the pic above as an example. On the X axis, all the way on the bottom you see 7-2. Basically what this means is that you have 7 boxes to draw in a row.. an undetermined amount of whitespace and then 2 boxes. The tricky part is that the Y axis has to correspond to the X axis.
