Editing Nonogram (section)

===Electronic puzzles===
Paint by numbers puzzles were implemented by 1995 on hand held electronic toys such as Game Boy and on other plastic puzzle toys. [[Nintendo]] picked up on this puzzle [[fad]], claiming the trademark for the name ''[[Picross]]'' (short for "picture crossword") for their own use, and released two nonogram titles for the [[Game Boy]] and nine for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] (eight of which were released in two-month intervals for the Nintendo Power Super Famicom Cartridge Writer as the ''NP'' series) in Japan. Only one of these, ''[[Mario's Picross]]'' for the Game Boy, was released outside Japan. Since then, one of the most prolific ''Picross'' game developers has been [[Jupiter Corporation]], who released ''[[Picross DS]]'' on the Nintendo DS in 2007, 9 titles in the ''[[Picross e]]'' series for the Nintendo 3DS eShop (along with 5 character-specific titles, including ones featuring [[Pokémon]], [[The Legend of Zelda|Zelda]] and [[Sanrio]] characters), and 9 titles in the ''[[Picross S]]'' series for the Nintendo Switch (along with three character-specific ones featuring [[Kemono Friends]], [[Overlord (anime)|Overlord]] and [[Doraemon]] respectively, and two featuring intellectual properties from companies such as [[Sega]] and [[Namco]] respectively).

Increased popularity in Japan launched new publishers and by now there were several monthly magazines, some of which contained up to 100 puzzles. The Japanese arcade game ''Logic Pro'' was released by Deniam Corp in 1996, with a sequel released the following year. UK games developer Jagex released a nonogram puzzle in 2011 as part of their annual Halloween event for their [[Massively multiplayer online role-playing game|role-playing game]], ''[[Runescape]]''. In 2013, Casual Labs released a mobile version of these puzzles called ''Paint it Back'' with the theme of restoring an art gallery. Released early in 2017, ''Pictopix'' has been presented as a worthy heir to ''Picross'' on PC by Rock, Paper, Shotgun.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2017/01/12/pictopix-review/|title=Wot I Think: Fantastic picross puzzler Pictopix|author=John Walker|work=Rock, Paper, Shotgun|date=12 January 2017 }}</ref> In particular, the game enables players to share their creations.
