Documentation black/white reversal #663

Open kurahaupo opened 1 week ago

kurahaupo commented 1 week ago

The documentation for "Singles" says that all white squares must be connected and all black squares must be disconnected.

However when using a dark (nighttime) theme, the documentation becomes backwards: the black squares (containing digits) must be connected, while the white (empty) squares must be disconnected.

I suggest that the documentation be updated to refer to "blank squares" and "squares with digits".

Alternatively, the game could be updated to place an X or • rather than leave a blank, then the documentation could simply refer to X or dot, vs digit.

Hi, thanks for your report. This is essentially the same problem as https://github.com/chrisboyle/sgtpuzzles/issues/577#issuecomment-1396218847 although it's slightly easier to solve here as you say, using the blank/digit distinction.

I wouldn't want to change the appearance of blank squares as an Android variation (or at least, ease of documentation isn't a good enough reason to make Android different from other platforms in that regard).
