Okay cool. I wasn't online since so the puzzles really are on some server. Nice. I'll add some cooler puzzles over the next days and get yours when you uploaded them.
I agree, the online is ace. (Though I'm sure the people with thousands of matches already know many of the puzzles by heart.)
My FC is 210552 929814. I've uploaded one puzzle. I have made several, but haven't put them up. I won't probably have the chance to do it this week not being home, but there'll be more eventually.
Really loving this so far - anyone else doing the daily Picross?
I have C B C so far, not sure how it works these out. I'm thinking it's an average because although I have good best scores I have some low ones from when I've tried to do it when half asleep just to get the credit for doing that days.
My friend code is 339401 956281 if anyone wants to swap puzzles. I added all above me in thread.
I have the japanese version, want an english version and could go out and buy the PAL version tomorrow but... I really hate the PAL boxes, should I wait for the US release and import or stop being so petty and just get the PAL version with the oversized box?

I think I understand the concept of picross - how close is it to something like sudoku, in terms of logic solving?
I just got Sudoku for my iPod, and it's a really good version. I carry my iPod most places - would picross be an awesome timekiller like sudoku? I love just whipping the iPod out and solving a few puzzles.
Post your friendcodes. I want nice new custom puzzles to check out. Got all of Neo Child's and BGBW's and solved them (except a big one with a bit too much guessing needed). Nice work guys. ;]

Is Picross easy to learn? I got Mario's Picross for Super Famicom, but i never really tried it out. If its easy to play i was thinking of buying the DS version for my parents.

It's essentially a crossword puzzle but with a picture instead of words, so picross = picture + crossword - word.
Motorbass: you have really put effort to the "solved" images in your puzzles.
I replaced some of my puzzles with new ones, although I think some of the old ones I had were better.
My minor complaint though is when it's a 15 by 15 board, I find the zooming etc a bit unintuitive. I think I would be better at the game working with the zoomed out view. I guess that's just a function of screen size though.
Man it really makes you feel clever when you are totally stumped and then eventually figure it out.
Press the 'Drag' icon once with your stylus. Then use the buttons (if you're left handed) or the d-pad (if you're right handed) to draw or to put X's. It works a lot better for me and doesn't feel as zoomy.
But I feel perfect with the stylus control, including 15x15. I'm in Normal - level 4 and just unlocked level 6.
And I'm addicted
but damn! I always forget the daily picross! I quickly go for the next one!
EDIT:
I imagine you know you can press any direction of the D-Pad while in "touch" mode. Thus, you can draw/cross/zoom quickly without touching the tools panel.
I mean: "move" is always selected, so you browse the picross. Then, keep "up" pressed and you're drawing until you leave it. "Down" for crosses. That's all and it works fine.

Well yeah, it may be okay for easy levels, and there may be people who even play 20x20 puzzles with the stylus, but the zoom-in and -out and moving is too confusing for me when I try to concentrate on the numbers (and they disappear). Even switching focus between the top and bottom screens isn't comfortable.
I need the static playing-field in the later levels where the puzzles aren't obvious anymore.
That's why I find the button controls for the 15x15 and 20x20 Puzzles perfect. Daily Training, online etc, I do with the stylus of course.
I recently got to all A's (S overall). I think you get an A if the average time is below 30 s.
I also managed to complete the 10 N-mode levels (didn't do it alone though). Level 11 has a nice theme. I also like F-mode level 9 theme for some reason.
I put some new puzzles up for downloading as well.
