In Diayajilin "cannot be adjacent" means can't touch even diagonally or cant't touch side to side, which one?

In Diayajilin the black cells can touch diagonally, but not orthogonally (side-to-side).
This is the same as normal Yajilin rules, the only difference is how the number clues behave.

PS: I notice the first two answer fields for puzzle 10 are validating that M and N are between 1 and 19 only, but if you have M or N >19 then ignore the warning and submit anyway. The earlier announcement in this forum says that the warnings are not always 100% accurate.
Fixed this warning. It shouldn't show warning with numbers <= 26 now.

In Trid can the numbers be repeated in the diagonals. That is the bold diagonals of rectangle/sides of triangles.

Small question about Battleships: When you say "Maximum length of horizontal / vertical line segments", do you mean "CONSECUTIVE horizontal / vertical line segments"? Otherwise, in the example, the top right corner '2' is actually 2 1/2 long.

Hi

In the My Line quadrant, does a segment of turn could leave the quadrant ? For example, can the 2 on the last row have a segment of his turn crossing the quadrant border ?
Does crossing the border cuts the length of a segment ? For example, with the 1 near the median horizontal border, could it cross this border and still count as one segment ? (as there is only one segment IN the quadrant)

Nice puzzles anyway !

Yes, a segment of turns can leave the quadrant. In the example I specifically gave one such angle (in cell with "?").


Similar question for Battleships With Line: can a row or column have a longer segment which is partially outside the quadrant, if the portion within the quadrant is below the given maximal length?

There are 6 small Trid puzzles, each has bold borders that are 7 circles long.
Numbers can NOT be repeated along those 7-circle borders, or any other diagonal within the same small triangle.
(it's the same idea as the Sudoku On Cube puzzle, there are 6 little puzzles with individual solutions, but they have identical digits along their common borders)

OK, thanks. Since the beginning, I had misinterpreted the statement of 'Battleship with Line'. When I finally properly translated, it became (almost) easy ...

Hi. Another question: For optimization problems, I guess you can without penalty propose a first solution, then return it to improve, right?

according to diayajilin rules;

1-digit in a cell shows total number of black cells on its both diagonals
2-or shows total number of black cells on its any diagonals

for example;

digit 2 in a cell and there is 2 black cells on any of its diagonal and there is one black cell on its other diagonal. that is satisfied the rule?

In Diayajilin, if there is a digit "2" in a cell then this is the total of all black cells in both diagonals, added together.

i.e.
there is 1 black in NW-SE diagonal and 1 black in NE-SW diagonal
OR
there is 2 blacks in NW-SE diagonal and 0 blacks in NE-SW diagonal
OR
there is 0 blacks in NW-SE diagonal and 2 blacks in NE-SW diagonal

(but you can NOT have 2 blacks in NW-SE diagonal and 1 black in NE-SW diagonal)

In my line if there is a no 2 is it necessary to have the length of lines equal to 2 on both sides or on side is enough.

Hi.
For 'Roman OX', I thought it was possible to use 'X' AND 'O' inside the grid, but the submission page specifies to use only 'X' and '-' ?

It means that the shapes must cover grid cells exactly. e.g. You cannot place the 1x1 shape to cover half of one grid cell and half of another grid cell.

Another question, about Battleships with Line :
Does the maximum line length have to exist or is it just a maximum ?
In other words, for a row with a 2, do we need to have at least one line of length 2 or only 1 length lines is ok ?
