The Enigmarch "wave" theme seems very fitting. Thank you! **2024-03-15** A third puzzle was created by @PinkHoodie - thank you! **2024-03-17** :::puzzletters @AnuragSahay sent a [Subwhirl] puzzle - thank you! **2024-03-18** An encoding regression in older puzzles (using the non-parenthised number format) found by @Sophie was patched. If any of your puzzles used this format, please consider re-opening, interacting (draw/erase a line), and re-saving them the current format. **2024-03-24** @PinkHoodie made a third small classic [Subwhirl] - thank you! **2024-04-10** The very difficult [panel modernisation|../panels#modern] of [Subwhirl] was achieved by @PinkHoodie, a herculean effort. Thank you! Also, multi-loop colour variegation was added. **2024-05-26** A recent regression detected by @MonokuroGreen was corrected (cause: changes in the arrowhead marker templates) Older issues, now overcome, but kept for self-reference: - ~~ turns counter still lacking (error checking) ~~ - ~~ error checking must disambiguate crossings ~~ - ~~ number placement looks odd ~~ - ~~ remove guide points at numbers ~~ - ~~ strange editing numbers bug ~~ - ~~ grid styles should probably inherit from default? ~~ - ~~ update metadata + pic ~~ - ~~ draw text cursors too ~~ - ~~ bug: the pencil/eraser should update when interacting via keyboard ~~ - ~~ press a number to add number clues (0 to 9 only) ~~ - ~~ bug: the game may freeze if more than one loop is produced ~~ - ~~ Karoo's loophole: ensure the error checker covers that case ~~
