Drop a grid over a coastline, a lake, a city block. Land becomes the puzzle, water becomes the walls — and clue cells are placed for you. Every mapskuro is a real, uniquely-solvable kakuro in the shape of somewhere real.
Overlay a grid on a two-tone map and every cell reads land or water. The land cells become the kakuro; the water cells become its walls. Clue cells land at the head of every run automatically — so what you get is immediately playable.
Slide a grid across the map at any cell size and angle until the coastline frames the shape you want.
Land cells turn into play cells, water into walls, and a clue cell is placed at the start of every row and column run.
Generate fills the grid with a single valid solution. Any spots that can't work are flagged so you can tidy the outline.
The more recognizable the outline, the more the puzzle feels like home. Start from a shoreline, a lake, an island chain, or the grid of a downtown.
