+# nonolog
+
+solve nonogram/picross puzzles, that are:
+- square: same number of rows are columns (duh)
+- monochromatic: only single colored, boolean states
+- and nothing fancier
+
+## usage, examples
+
+start up a prolog repl and load definitions,
+
+```bash
+$ swipl
+?- [nono].
+true.
+
+```
+
+to solve the example puzzle
+
+```
+     11 3
+     22112
+    +-----+
+  2 |     |
+2 2 |     |
+  1 |     |
+  3 |     |
+2 1 |     |
+    +-----+
+```
+
+`picross/4` takes an array of row restrictions, array of column restrictions, the size, and corresponding matrix.
+
+```prolog
+?- picross([[2], [2, 2], [1], [3], [2, 1]], [[1, 2], [1, 2], [1], [3, 1], [2]], 5, X).
+00011
+11011
+00010
+11100
+11010
+X = [[0, 0, 0, 1, 1], [1, 1, 0, 1, 1], [0, 0, 0, 1, 0], [1, 1, 1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0, 1|...]] .
+```
+
+this is the expected solution,
+
+```
+     11 3
+     22112
+    +-----+
+  2 |   XX|
+2 2 |XX XX|
+  1 |   X |
+  3 |XXX  |
+2 1 |XX X |
+    +-----+
+```
+
+with under-constrained inputs, this detects *all possible* solutions, so for a less constrained input:
+
+```
+   221
+  +---+
+1 |   |
+2 |   |
+2 |   |
+  +---+
+```
+
+two solutions are found;
+
+```prolog
+?- picross([[1], [2], [2]], [[2], [2], [1]], 3, X).
+100
+110
+011
+X = [[1, 0, 0], [1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1]] ;
+001
+110
+110
+X = [[0, 0, 1], [1, 1, 0], [1, 1, 0]] ;
+```
+
+corresponding to both valid outputs,
+
+```
+   221       221
+  +---+     +---+
+1 |X  |   1 |  X|
+2 |XX |   2 |XX |
+2 | XX|   2 |XX |
+  +---+     +---+
+```
+
+and because this is constraint-based prolog, this works in the opposite direction.
+if we wanted to generate the constraints to generate the puzzle
+
+```
++---+
+|XXX|
+| X |
+|X X|
++---+
+```
+
+```prolog
+?- picross(X, Y, 3, [[1, 1, 1], [0, 1, 0], [1, 0, 1]]).
+111
+010
+101
+X = [[3], [1], [1, 1]],
+Y = [[1, 1], [2], [1, 1]] ;
+```
+
+which are the constraints;
+
+```
+      1 1
+      121
+     +---+
+   3 |XXX|
+   1 | X |
+ 1 1 |X X|
+     +---+
+```
