Overview

We are going to write a code to be used within retool to render ARC Problems JSON objects as visual renderings.

Description of the JSON notation used by ARC-PRIZE:

The JSON contains two sets of grids, 'train' and 'test'. Each containing multiples GRIDS arranged in pairs INPUT-OUTPUT.

train sets

These are the grids to teach the agent on how to grids behave in a before and after transformation.

The grid sizes may be variable across Input and Output grids.

Representing the Grids

Each grid is represented individually, with each row being an array with the number of elements equal to the number of columns the grid has. So a 4x4 grid, would have 4 arrays with 4 elements inside each.

Each of these elements is represented by a not null numeric value that varies from 0 to 10, each value is representative of a color as indicated in the Color Code section below.

Color code

0 = black 1 = blue 2 = red 3 = green 4 = yellow 5 = grey 6 = magenta 7 = orange 8 = light blue 9 = dark red

Objective

We are to make a Javascript code that takes these Jsons and represent visually the grids contained in them in pair forms "INPUT-OUTPUT", with the execption of the Test Output Grid which will require a separate code so we can toggle it and save its value separately.

Requeriments

• The code must be done in simple Javascript compatible with Retool
• No Frameworks or additional dependencies are allowed (ex. React, Vue etc)
• Display the graphic as an HTML

1. Layout

• Training examples should be displayd side-by-side (Input - Output) for each pair a line.

2. Test Output

• We are making a separate code to display it in a differente element.

3. Retool Integration

• Will the JSON be passed as a JavaScript variable (e.g., {{ query1.data }})? YES

• Should the component accept a JSON string or parsed object? Yes

• Need any interactivity (click cells, zoom, export)? No

4. Multiple Grids Display

• Should it handle displaying one puzzle at a time or multiple puzzles? Only one Puzzle at a time, with all its grids (Train and Test). We are going to load each problem individually for visualization

5. Styling Preferences

• Cell border color/width?

Option A: Fixed pixel size per cell E.g., 20px × 20px per cell Large grids may overflow or require scrolling Simple and consistent

• Spacing between INPUT and OUTPUT grids? Adjusted to the width of the frame with enough space to make them visually separate. Maybe about 1 or two cells of separation

• Spacing between different training examples? 1 or two lines

• Overall padding/margins? No padding or margins necessary

• Dark mode or light background? Transparent, since all cells with have a solid color, thats not an issue.

• Borders Also make the border of the grids black 2px Individual Cell Borders - a light grey, just to help separate the cells.

You mentioned "border of the grids black 2px" - do you mean: Border around the entire grid (like a picture frame)? YES

6. Function Signature

• What should the main function look like? For example: "function renderArcPuzzle(jsonData, options) { ... } // or renderArcGrid(grid, containerElement) { ... }"

We are going with Option A, Direct HTML Generation. ex:

// Returns HTML string that Retool injects into an HTML component function renderArcPuzzle(jsonData) { // ... generate HTML ... return htmlString; }

// Usage in Retool HTML component: {{ renderArcPuzzle(query1.data) }}

7. Labels and Titles

Should each grid pair have labels? No "Train Example 1", "Train Example 2", etc.? "Input" / "Output" labels above each grid? NO "Test Input" / "Test Output" for test section? Or no labels at all (grids only)? No labels necessary just to separate TRAIN from TEST grids

8. Test Section Display

Option B: Display test INPUT and OUTPUT side-by-side (like training pairs) AND the TEST Input, we are not presenting the TEST Output [this would be separate program just for the Test Output, which is the answer to the puzzle]

This seems contradictory. Let me confirm - for the TEST section, should I: Option A: Show ONLY test INPUT (no output at all) YES! Dont show the TEST Output grid.

9. Grid Dimensions Display

Should we show the grid dimensions somewhere (e.g., "30×30" label)? This could be helpful since grids vary in size. Yes that's helpful! Lets show that.

10. Color Palette Confirmation

The corrected color code (0-9): 0 = black (#000000) 1 = blue (#0074D9) 2 = red (#FF4136) 3 = green (#2ECC40) 4 = yellow (#FFDC00) 5 = grey (#AAAAAA) 6 = magenta (#F012BE) 7 = orange (#FF851B) 8 = light blue (#7FDBFF) 9 = dark red (#85144b)

Should I use standard ARC colors or would you prefer different hex values? Yes use the ARC standard colors.
