   I made a puzzle game that gently introduces my favorite math mysteries▲1,054

   This is the first iteration of a short game I’m making that tries to interactively explain some of my favorite math questions / ideas. My goal is mostly to get the player curious and not necessarily to explain absolutely everything. There were a lot of fun technical parts to building this: - For implementation reasons, it’s much easier if the lines all have integer intersection points with each other. To do this, when a new line is added I “cheat” by rounding intersections to integers and then splitting the old lines at the intersection into new linds (with potentially different slopes)…

    My New Puzzle Game▲9

    This is an idea I’ve been kicking around for a long time, and I decided to finally code it up.
