Jun 9, 2017 at 19:40 comment added Einacio @programmer5000 Hi, I totally forgot about this challenge, I haven't had much free time in those 3 years to give it some love. I would be delighted to see someone pull it through, do I have to do something more than post it in the chat?
Jun 9, 2017 at 16:29 comment added user58826 Hello! This looks like a good but abandoned meta post, would you be willing to offer it for adoption? (If you want to, you can still post to main.) Due to community guidelines, if you don't respond to this comment in 7 days I have permission to adopt this.

Mar 31, 2014 at 14:58 comment added Martin Ender @Einacio well, uniqueness could be checked with a solver (there might be easier ways). I suppose you just have to decide whether you want soluble or comparable answers. If you are going for soluble, you can make this a "code challenge" and determine the score based on both code length and similarity to input image.
Mar 31, 2014 at 14:18 comment added Einacio @m.buettner I proposed the fixed grid and cell criterion with the idea of being able to check results against others. I forgot about ambiguous solutions, and I don't know how difficult is to test for it, specially if it ends as a code-golf. Maybe I should rule it out explicitly to keep answers simpler?
Mar 31, 2014 at 11:28 comment added Martin Ender Seeing that you prescribe exactly how black and white cells are to be determined, unique solubility of the resulting nonogram is no criterion?
Mar 27, 2014 at 16:02 comment added Einacio It wouldn't be the first challenge using PNG, so I see no problem there. About the grid, I'll prepare the example images later, I hope that'll be clearer to understand
Mar 27, 2014 at 15:46 comment added John Dvorak I don't understand the 5x5 rule. Is it that there are 5x5 pixels in the image, and 5x5 pixels in the grid? 5x5s are no puzzles.
Mar 27, 2014 at 15:45 comment added John Dvorak I don't think a PNG library showoff is a good challenge for this site. There's no thinking present, just having to learn an API and hope it has short enough names.
Mar 27, 2014 at 15:42 comment added Einacio It could be a file path if that's more accesible. I didn't say the image was scaled, the 5*5 squares are for the grid to create the nonogram, just to avoid another required parameter(number of cols*rows desired). About the ascii-art, that would have no challenge, just a count()
Mar 26, 2014 at 20:02 comment added John Dvorak Also, I'd prefer an ascii-art input (a grid of hashes and spaces) than having the challenge complicated by looking up and interfacing an image manipulation API.
Mar 26, 2014 at 19:59 comment added John Dvorak wait, is the PNG itself in the STDIN, or a file path to it? I assume the latter, but it's currently formulated as if it's the former. Also, the threshold needs to be clarified. Also, why is the image scaled up in the first place?
