Complete guide
Pipelink uses the independently implemented Pipelink fixed pipe single loop rules v1 profile (R653). In Pipelink, the position revolves around this rule: Complete the missing pipe pieces so fixed pieces retain their orientations and every pipe cell belongs to one closed loop without branches.
Pipelink starts with its fixed information already marked and its editable spaces left for the player. Complete the missing pipe pieces so fixed pieces retain their orientations and every pipe cell belongs to one closed loop without branches. Restart reconstructs the same opening from the stored game ID, rules version, and seed.
A move in Pipelink is accepted only while it preserves every already-visible requirement. Complete the missing pipe pieces so fixed pieces retain their orientations and every pipe cell belongs to one closed loop without branches. Failed validation leaves the move count, history, and board exactly as they were.
Pipelink is complete once every cell, edge, region, and fixed clue satisfies the fixed pipe single loop completion test. The terminal check examines every relevant pile, cell, edge, room, and clue before awarding the result. At the end of Pipelink, recount the remaining destinations, marks, or connections before committing the narrowest move. The finish is accepted only when every cell, edge, region, and fixed clue satisfies the fixed pipe single loop completion test.
Extend from fixed pipe ends first and track node degree as pieces join, leaving exactly two compatible approaches for every unfinished pipe cell. Rotating a fixed segment mentally or closing a small cycle early leaves the remaining pipes outside the one required nonbranching loop.
Extend from fixed pipe ends first and track node degree as pieces join, leaving exactly two compatible approaches for every unfinished pipe cell. This matters specifically because complete the missing pipe pieces so fixed pieces retain their orientations and every pipe cell belongs to one closed loop without branches.
Rotating a fixed segment mentally or closing a small cycle early leaves the remaining pipes outside the one required nonbranching loop. Recheck the legal boundary before choosing a replacement move.
The winning condition for Pipelink is precise: every cell, edge, region, and fixed clue satisfies the fixed pipe single loop completion test. No hidden solution values are printed to justify the result; the rules engine validates the submitted position. Undo and redo expose alternative branches without revealing an authored answer.
