Nonacorn is an endless nonogram game for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.

Installation

Open Nonacorn.gba on a Gameboy Advance Emulator or flash cart.
User guide
In this game endless random puzzles will be generated. The acorn you pick will determine the randomness.
To complete a puzzle the number of tiles in a column or row must match the numbers shown outside the grid in the corresponding column or row.
If there are multiple numbers in the same position e.g "1 2 3" this means that there are 3 sets of numbers of 1 length, 2 length, and 3 length.
So "1 2 3" would be "0 X 0 0 X 0 0 0" and "8" would be "0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0".
