    Sorry but it is not clear to me what you are asking.
    I think your best bet is to check websites like dmm.com it is a popular Japanese website for games and eBooks and other things.
    You can translate Japanese to English if you use Chrome browser.

    Hi Legendas.

    What I want is :

    I bought several books of Puzzles ( Nurikabe, cave, shimaguni, etc) and I play them using pencil and paper. I want to pass the puzzles for the PC because so I can run them in the PC using the Internet and all of it's facilities.
    I hope you understand now what I want. Playing online with the keyboard of the PC and not using paper and pencil.

    If you are asking if any online software currently allows users to scan a page from a puzzle book and automatically convert that scan to an online, interactive version of the same puzzle, the answer is almost certainly no. Advanced AI would be required to allow the software to interpret the scanned page so that data typed by users appears in the correct location.

    Just scan the pages with a normal scanner and use an electronic pen to mark it.

    That would work for scans stored locally, using a drawing app plus a compatible tablet or laptop with a touch screen.

    However, XPTO seems to want to solve the puzzles online. I don't know enough about online drawing apps to say if any exist that allow uploading scans and using a stylus to draw on them.

    Yes Usually_quiet finally someone understood my final goal.
    The makers of Puzzles publish their puzzles in the Pc and change the status of dead or neutral to the status of active ( or interactive as they say).
    This permits to abandon the use of paper and pencil and change to the online or interactive mode in the Pc.

    Johns0 suggested to scan the puzzle paper and transport to the Pc. But and then? How to edit and change it for interactive mode?

    Thanks for your help with my pretension?

    Exactly what do you mean by "interactive"? For example, it is very unlikely that you will find something that offers hints for solving the uploaded scan for a puzzle, or rejects incorrect entries.

    I have only used PC drawing programs for creating or editing pictures (including scans) stored locally on the PC. A drawing program would allow you to write letters or numbers on the scanned puzzle using a mouse and keyboard. However, it is much easier to use a touchscreen and a stylus to write directly on the screen. If you put a second transparent layer on top of the scan and "write" on that, it is possible to erase what you write on the top layer without disturbing the scan underneath. Some drawing programs allow saving a drawing with multiple layers without merging them so you can go back to your puzzle later.

    Doing the same with an online drawing program might be possible but you might not be able to store files online.
