Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll use Python to build a nonogram puzzle generator that creates a printable puzzle pack from the command line. Nonograms are puzzles that reveal an image on a grid, based on numbers along the grid’s edge. Most programmatic implementations solve nonograms, but yours will generate them. To do this, you’ll code your script, relying on two essential data structures: the pandas DataFrame and the NumPy array. You’ll also experiment with image libraries including Pillow and pixelate, and gain a better understanding of basic image processing concepts.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
