Tamago Town

Updated on (created ) — Filed under: List Michael Vedder Paper Ported Puzzle gravity nature territory
Divide the puzzle orthogonally into regions of area 4, each containing exactly one egg. If the egg is supported by a floor, the region also contains a chicken; otherwise the egg cracks and it contains a pan.

Based on ruleset by Michael Vedder

First seen (2024) at CTC

This is an example puzzle - tap to interact!

Each region comprises exactly four cells.

Each region contains exactly one egg and either one chicken or one pan.

If the egg remains intact (because it is directly supported by an edge below) the other symbol in its region is a chicken.

If the egg falls and cracks (because it lacks support) the other symbol in its region is a pan.

Solved!
? ? ? ? ? ?

Each question marks an egg, chicken or pan.

Michael Vedder composed the ruleset and first puzzles of Tamago Town (2024), shared at CTC, , alongside many other original paper puzzles.

On the next day Pedro released the Tamago Town interactive app, leveraging the Kudamono Editor system. Pedro derived the programming logic, decided on colours & input modes and created all graphic assets, by tracing SVG paths. Rule panels by Anurag Sahay on 16/06/2024.

All puzzles listed on this page have a single, unique solution. Brand-new puzzles are proudly submitted by their authors regularly, while historic puzzles gain a new life in the interactive Kudamono format: here transcribed for the first time, with permission from each author, on a unit-, genre- or general basis.

Start with a blank page (new Tamago Town puzzle).

Detailed editing instructions and shortcuts can be found at the manual.

The following variants are suggested: pan-roasted-chicken.

For more information about global variants, and how to combine multiple variants in a single puzzle, please see the variants page.

The following custom insertion shortcuts apply to Tamago Town:

Please with any issues and suggestions.

There are specific instructions for live conflict highlighting and input issues, for improving the rule panels or reporting non-uniquenesses.

For any other bugs, please:

  • describe what you were trying to do,
  • what happened instead, and
  • send the current url (plus any visible error logs and possibly, supplementary screenshots).

You may check whether your bug is already covered by the unit tests (it may take a few seconds before the page loads fully). Any yellow boxes indicate a failed test. "Performance issues" currently indicate all passed tests, slow or not.

If you find a situation where the live conflict highlighter is not working as you'd expect (e.g. too aggressive, incorrect), please send a small test case url plus a brief explanation of what should be happening instead.

A good test case includes the smallest possible board, with the fewest possible elements, that is still able to unambiguously reproduce the issue.

For interface issues related input modes, or more generally to clicking/touching/dragging, keyboard shortcuts, etc… please submit an input test case, as detailed in the Inputs Initiative.

For simple typos/rewordings, a short email suffices. For more substantial changes, please refer to the rule panels guidelines.

If you find a non-uniqueness in one of the puzzles, please first check whether you are able to contact the puzzle author directly to request a fix.

If that seems impractical, please submit either:

  • a corrected, unique puzzle url (with solution), if you are able to suggest a fix (preferred); or
  • a puzzle url solved up to the point where the puzzle stops being unique; or
  • multiple urls (one per solution)
