No commentsHidoku # 4
- Details
I said in a previous article that the Hidoku puzzle is very flexible ( Hidoku # 3). I told you also that the form of the cells could affect how we move from onr cell to another. This week I propose you a grid with diamonds of different shape. As I told you the best way to find which cells you could go from one cell (the initial cell) is to look which cells the corners of the initial cell touch. When a cell is a square or a pentagon we know the principle. But when a cell is a diamond then a corner of cell with a sharp angle could touch many more cells ( the maximum of cells a corner of a square cell can touch is 3 other cells). So I propose you a grid with a shape of a donut made of many diamonds ( I have found this interesting geometric form on the web, I have tought that it could form an interesting grid for a Hidoku) . For this grid you start form the number one up to 30 (the grey cells). When we have only one donut the maximun cells that the corner of a cell could touch is 3. (Notice that in the middle- the hexagon- you could could travel from one cell to the opposite cell, it adds more possibility). For the second puzzle I have gathered three donuts together, then when two donut are adjacent then the maximum number of cell that a corner of one cell could touch is 5 (look at the cell number 1, the left corner). For the last puzzle you have to find a path from 1 to 90. (Hidoku's Rules).

Hidoku # 3
- Details
As I explained recently, the Hidoku puzzle (Hidoku's Rules) is very versatile, the grid could take many shapes, like square Hidoku # 1 or even drawing forms likes Hidoku # 2. But another aspect that can be modified is the shape of the cells. In the last described puzzles all the cells are square. But nothing prevent us to modify this, by example we could have hexagonal cells (six sides). When the shape of the cells are modified then this could impact how go from on cell to another one to find the path. By example with a conventional square grid with square cells (showed in the next figure). It is agreed that a move from a cell can go horizontaly, verticaly or diagonaly of only one step.
So from the blue cell we can reach the 8 red cells.
But we can generalize that we could move from one cell (the starting cell) to any other cells that touch one corner of the starting cell. And we can apply this rule to any shape of cell (instead of saying to move horizontaly, verticaly, etc). Like for the octogonal cell. The following figure illustrates a portion of a grid with hexagonal cells. From the blue cell, with this rule (going to cell that touch a corner of the starting cell),
we are able to reach any of the six red cells. Notice that with hexagonal cells we are able to reach at most 6 cells instead of 8 for the square cells. All this is related to the specic geometry of the cells. A corner of a square is able to touch three cells and a corner of an hexagonal cell is able to touch two cells only.
Then just to tease you I present you three Hexagonal Hidoku puzzles. Try to find the path strating from the cell 1 and finishing with other cell having a circle.
