is a logic puzzle developed by publisher Nikoli.
Rules
Shakashaka is played on a rectangular grid of white and black squares. Some black cells may contain a number.
The objective of the puzzle is to place triangles in some of the white cells. There are four kinds of triangles which can be put in squares:
In the resulting grid, The white parts of the grid (uncovered by black triangles) must form a rectangle or a square, not sharing an edge with other white squares/rectangles. Black cells with a number must be orthogonally adjacent to the specified number of black triangles.
Computational complexity It is NP-complete to decide whether a given Shakashaka puzzle has a solution. Furthermore, counting the number of solutions to a given Shakashaka puzzle is #P-complete under parsimonious reductions.
