-Revamps the gameplay of nonogram to make it compatible with genetic mechanisms.

Common Questions:
Q: Does the game require prior knowledge?
A: You need to have a basic understanding of high school genetics.
Q: How large is the game?
A: The game consists of 32 levels each for single gene inheritance, multi-gene inheritance, and sex-linked inheritance, totaling 96 levels. It takes 4-12 hours to complete all levels.
Q: Are the questions computer-generated?
A: Yes, but all levels have been manually selected, eliminating questions that rely too heavily on enumeration. Almost every step in each level can be logically deduced.

A: These settings add new reasoning clues for sex-linked inheritance questions.
Q: Any suggestions?
A: Make good use of the annotation button, especially the “0” and “1” buttons provided in sex-linked inheritance questions.
