Nonogram Solver
Watch a trained agent work through a five-by-five picture puzzle.
Nonogram Solver
Watch an AI agent reveal a 5 × 5 picture from its row and column clues.
Generate a new Nonogram puzzle, then watch the agent solve it step-by-step.
- Click “New Puzzle” to generate a board.
- Once it’s ready, the button switches to “Solve With AI”. Click it to start solving.
- Use “Solution” to reveal the full answer key if you want to compare.
- If AWS is warming up, wait for the status to turn ready and try again.
STAR Summary
- Situation
- I wanted to see if an RL agent could learn to solve Nonogram puzzles.
- Task
- Train and evaluate a reinforcement-learning agent on generated 5x5 Nonogram puzzles.
- Action
-
- Generated large batches of 5x5 puzzles and trained a hybrid CNN + Transformer policy network to solve them.
- Shaped rewards around unique guesses, row/column completions, and full-board solves to guide exploration.
- Result
-
- Evaluated on generated 5x5 boards, but the published materials do not yet include a reproducible held-out solve-rate result.
