Subject: Error checking in Pattern, which was until now the only remaining game
X-Git-Url: https://git.distorted.org.uk/~mdw/sgt/puzzles/commitdiff_plain/b4b0a0ff28669d3677dc7d7e658bd473bb3de250?hp=b4b0a0ff28669d3677dc7d7e658bd473bb3de250

Error checking in Pattern, which was until now the only remaining game
that _ought_ to have it but did not.

I've tried to implement it before and found that the most obvious
approach was so effective as to constitute a spoiler, so this is a
deliberately weakened approach which in a bit of play-testing seems to
be a more sensible balance. It won't necessarily tell you at the very
instant you put a foot wrong, but it will at least ensure that (my
usual minimum standard) once you've filled in the whole grid you will
either have seen a victory flash, or an error indicator showing you
why not.
