RGB Akari 🔴💡🟢💡🔵

     Yesterday, we took a glance at Akari puzzles. While the genre is fun to solve at all levels, it's still fairly restricted in terms of inputs (as you only place lightsbulbs in some cells), compared to types like Sudoku or Hakkyu (with numbers). Here is a very recent way to dirversify the solving of Akari : RGB Akari ! Created a week ago by Jubale & Jolson, here are the rules :

Place red, green and blue lightbulbs in some cells of the grid.

- Lightbulbs illuminate cells in the same row and column it's in, stopping at the edge of the grid or a black cell.

- Every white cell is illuminated by at least one lightbulb.

- No two lightbulbs illuminate each other.

- Numbers in black cells represent the numbers of lightbulbs in the 4 adjacent cells.

- Colored tiles must be illuminated with the corresponding light color(s). Lightbulbs may be placed over tiles.

Akari 💡⬛

     Akari is an object placement genre, where you illuminate the grid by placing lights sources. Here are the rules :

Place lights in some empty cells so that every white cell is illuminated.

- Lights illuminate the cell they’re in as well as all cells seen in a straight line horizontally or vertically, until obstructed by a black cell.

- Lights may not illuminate each other.

- Clues represent the number of lights in the (up to) four cells surrounding the clue.

     The rules gives way for big grids that can solve quickly, so don't be afraid when the 2nd puzzle is a 20x20 grid. RGB variant will be published tomorrow.
