Hi DionOfSpice! Amazing work on this!! I adore Picross! But I have a question for you about this project is there anyway I could email you? ^_^

If you happen to be in the official GB Studio Discord server, you can find me there and DM me. If you'd prefer emailing me, try dionofspice@gmail.com. I'll try to answer any questions you got!

That or DM me on twitter. I keep forgetting I have an account there.

Thanks so much! I messaged you on Discord :D

This is really cool! Happy to see that it can be done in GB Studio, and thank you for including the project! Excited to learn how to make it myself :)

This game is slickly built and looks amazing. Also, thanks so much for putting the project file out there! That helped me a lot to see how someone else has implemented picross in GB Studio.

Fun Picross concept!  A few things I'd personally suggest:

Swap start/select functions.  To me it's more natural for Start to bring up a menu than Select.

Hold-and-drag style behaviour where you can hold down a button and use the DPad to repeat the action on the next square.

Can I will get your project to I create my own Picross game?

Not sure what you mean by that exactly, but if you want to make something based on my project, feel free to do so. Crediting me would be appreciated.

I did my own picross game.
