If you've been reading this message for more than a second or two, then this WebAssembly puzzle doesn't seem to be working in your web browser. Sorry!
Most modern browsers should support WASM. I've had reports of success from:
More information
If this puzzle isn't working in one of those browsers (or a later version), check to see whether you have any local configuration that might have turned off WebAssembly completely, or some kind of blocking software that might have prevented the WASM code from being downloaded in the first place.
(For example, in Firefox, it's possible to turn off WASM completely
by setting javascript.options.wasm to false
in the about:config interface. If you've done that, or
something analogous in another browser, this puzzle won't run.)
In other browsers, the problem might be that WebAssembly isn't supported at all (for example, Internet Explorer 11), or that a browser update is needed.
If you think that your browser should support WebAssembly, but this puzzle still isn't running, then please report the problem, including as much diagnostic information as you can find.
In particular, try opening your browser's Javascript error console and then reloading this page, and tell me if it reports any error messages.
Also, if your browser has a network diagnostic tab, try the same
experiment, to make sure it is successfully loading both of the
auxiliary files map.js and
map.wasm.
Colour the map with four colours, so that no two adjacent regions have the same colour. (Regions touching at only one corner do not count as adjacent.) There is a unique colouring consistent with the coloured regions you are already given.
Drag from a coloured region to a blank one to colour the latter the same colour as the former. Drag from outside the grid into a region to erase its colour. (You cannot change the colours of the regions you are given at the start of the game.)
Right-drag from a coloured region to a blank one to add dots marking the latter region as possibly the same colour as the former, or to remove those dots again.
