FEATURES

The key features of the Magnum Opus Futoshiki Construction function are as follows:-

Fully automatic construction of puzzles in sizes from 4x4 up to 9x9.
Three levels of difficulty are available, as well as control of the number of initial digits.
A multi-build function allows the construction of many puzzles (thousands if necessary) in a single operation.
Fully manual construction is also available. This allows puzzles found in the printed media to be entered into Magnum Opus.
Puzzles can be printed in an unprecedented range of user controlled colors and formats. Output can be sent direct to the printer or, if you install the appropriate software, it can be sent to a PDF file. The recommended software for this purpose is Primo PDF which you can download free from their website, although you might consider sending them a small donation if you find their program useful.
Formatted output can also be exported from the Print screen to graphic files which conform to the BMP, GIF, JPG or PNG formats.
A fully interactive Solve function is available to allow you to solve the puzzles "on screen" without needing to print them.
Export selected puzzles to a Java Applet which can be uploaded to a web server to provide interactive puzzle content on your web site.
