Feature Request - New Board Type

bleem313 opened this issue · comments

A new type of puzzle a day has shown up that includes the day of the week. It uses all 9 of the previously defined pentominoes with the addition of the line tetromino. It continues the grid past day 31 to include the 7 weekdays but puts the last three on the bottom right instead of wrapping around.

I can't find information on the original creator, but it has appeared on a plethora of different websites.

The additional piece should be easy to add, but the new board type and third target would take a bit of code re-work I believe.

The internal structure of the board is just a 2D vector and cells for "Month" and "Day" are handled similarly to the walls around the board. So I guess the code re-work isn't so big.

Since I don't own this variant of puzzles, it's unlikely that I'll implement this feature on my own anytime soon. But, any contribution is welcome!!

Fwiw, I discovered this repo after I had an alternate implementation - but I did add support for this board type in anowell/today-puzzle#1

The puzzle was supported by #13. Thanks @mberneis !

@anowell, wow, it's interesting to see another solver for the same problem. Thank you for sharing your work.
