In addition to the left click on a cell to place a star, and right click (or right click and drag) to mark X&#8217;s, you can now right click on an edge or corner of a cell to place a dot clue. Putting in a star in a cell touching a dot will make the dot go away so your notes clean up after themselves. You may need to clear downloaded files from your browser cache to get the latest version of the solving interface to show up, but we hope you enjoy this improvement as much as we do.<\/p>\n<p>While there was nothing &#8220;wrong&#8221; with our first solving video for the Pinwheel puzzle, it used some trickier steps than it needed to. So we made a new YouTube video to highlight the new solving interface tool for Star Battle, as well as a simpler path to get around the Pinwheel:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GMPuzzles - 2021\/02\/20 - Star Battle by JinHoo Ahn\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mhCmBYvdZm0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to the great support of Swaroop Guggilam, we have already updated our Penpa-Edit beta to have new solving functionality for Star Battle.
