### ´´prism´´

Prism is a new variant invented by @Leeor. It is currently local to [Akari] but may later be expanded to [Akari RGB] and possibly other genres. The implementation is also a stepping stone for the upcoming mirror variant.

## Acknowledgements and Changes
**2024-04-15** Many thanks to @AnuragSahay for sending a puzzle to mark the rollout, and for feedback on the implementation.
**2024-04-19** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie sent a doppel classic (vs minesweeper) plus 4 puzzles using variants ´´shade-square,shade,unshade-zones-1,unshade-no-vertex´´; ´´antiknight´´; ´´shade,tasquare´´ and ´´clues-missing,shade-no-adjacent´´!
**2024-04-21** @JoeLangstaff shared the first three (classic) puzzles of an ongoing set created by a process that starts with a dice roll
**2024-04-26** A small regression on the ´´hex´´ grid detected by @PinkHoodie was corrected (cause: changes in the number templates to support an upcoming input mode)
**2024-04-26** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie sent 2 puzzles using variants ´´hex,clues-missing,shade-no-adjacent´´ and ´´shade-zones-1,unshade-zones-1,shade-no-vertex,unshade-no-vertex,shade´´!
**2024-04-28** Sketch lines enabled, since they might be useful large puzzles under certain conditions, a suggestion by @JoeLangstaff, who rolled the dice again. Also, a visual regression where aux marks were no longer fading was corrected (cause: prior solution was non-systematic)
**2024-05-03** A recent regression affecting the ´´shade´´ variant in [Akari] was corrected (cause conflict with given shaded tiles). Thanks @random8.
**2024-04-21** :::puzzletters @JoeLangstaff concluded the dice series with puzzles D12 and D20!
**2024-06-03** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie sent 1 classic - thank you!
**2024-06-05** The local ´´prism´´ variant by @Leeor was added, alongside an example puzzle! Thanks @Leeor for finding a missing constraint in the highlighting (no bulb on prism). Thanks to @PinkHoodie for detecting diagonal self-lighting wasn't always being detected and that the prism was available on solve mode.
**2024-06-06** Highlighting incorrections (with zero lights and a prism) discovered by @Pinkhoodie were corrected (cause: highlighter was skipping an aggregation step rather than reporting it as empty)
**2024-06-21** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie sent 4 classics - thank you!
**2024-07-12** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie sent 1 classic - thank you!
**2024-09-01** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie sent 2 classics - thank you!
**2024-09-23** :::puzzletters @PinkHoodie started a Pento Pair set!
**2024-09-25** A missing collision between shaded cells and light bulbs was re-added (cause: leftover from the V41 upgrade). Thanks @PinkHoodie
**2024-09-29** @PinkHoodie continued the full Pento Pair set of classic [Akari] (and sent one extra classic) - thank you!
**2024-10-05** :::puzzletters The Pento Pairs series continues, with 7 extra puzzles sent by @PinkHoodie. Thank you!
