Nonacorn

Nonacorn is a endless nonogram game for the GameBoy Advance. It was developed over 48 hours for the Global Game Jam 2023.

To play this game requires either a GBA emulator or a flash cartridge. 

In this game, endless random puzzles will be generated. The acorn you pick will determine the randomness. 

To complete a puzzle, the number of tiles in a column or row must match the numbers shown outside the grid in the corresponding column or row.

If there are multiple numbers in the same position e.g. "1 2 3" this means that there are 3 sets of numbers of 1 length, 2 length, and 3 length. 

So "1 2 3" would be "0 X 0 0 X 0 0 0" and "8" would be "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0"

Controls:

Button
DPAD	Move Cursor
A	Place Tile / Select Acorn
B	Place Cross
A (Holding L)	Place Marker
Start	Open Credits / Get Hint

It has been tested with VBA on windows and Everdrive GBA Mini.
