How to play Jinkou

  1. Shade cells on the board so each pearl has half of its neighbors shaded.
  2. A pearl between edges counts those two cells; a pearl in an intersection counts those four; a pearl in a cell center counts its four diagonal neighbors.
  3. Edge pearls count everything off the board.
  4. Cells off the board count as unshaded. (unfinished)
  5. A pearl in a cell center sits on an unshaded cell. (unfinished)
