Summary

Represents a constraint in a path puzzle such as Masyu, Numberlink or Yajilin that mandates that lines must join up into a path (the path cannot have a dangling end within the grid). The values 0–6 are used to represent pieces of a path (see Path for constants to help deal with these values). Paths can still exit the grid at the edge, or join up with a value greater than 6.

Constructors

Instance properties

bool	CanHitNonPathCells	Determines whether a path is allowed to “hit” a non-path cell (as in Numberlink) or whether the path must navigate around all non-path cells (as in Yajilin).
int	Height	Specifies the height of the puzzle grid.
int	Width	Specifies the width of the puzzle grid.
