Do you want auto-dirt functionality?

[admin]

The first task in most campsite puzzles is to methodically go through the grid and mark off all obvious dirt patches (i.e. those that aren't horizontally or vertically adjacent to a tree). I'm wondering, if we were to offer a feature that automatically filled in this "obvious dirt" for you at the start of the puzzle, would you want to use it? Or is part of the fun figuring out the entire grid from scratch, even the first pass of dirt duty?

Thanks for the feedback!

I've added "auto-dirt" detection now to all puzzles. Your puzzle should load now with all "obvious" dirt patches (i.e. those that aren't horizontally or vertically adjacent to any tree) already marked as dirt.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo :'( I liked working it out from scratch! What's the point now?

I've literally never even looked at the forums before but I had to know what was going on, could auto-dirt be a toggle maybe? So you can choose whether or not to use it?

Good idea! It's now implemented - you can set whether you want auto-dirt or now via the puzzle initialization menu. Your preference will persist so that all future puzzles will have the same setting you chose last for this option.

Can you make it so there is a time penalty for using it?
