Abstract

Slitherlink is a pure deduction puzzle that produces simple closed paths in a square grid when solved. This paper presents a simple method for automatically generating Slitherlink challenges whose solutions describe artistic shapes selected by the designer, and its successful implementation in a Java program. The process is assessed through several examples in terms of their artistic merit and quality as puzzles.
