In plain words

Water Pouring Problem Simulation is a tool that models the classic water jug puzzle, where users work with containers of different sizes to measure specific volumes of liquid. Launched in 2016, it's designed for people interested in logic puzzles and mathematical problem-solving. The simulation allows users to experiment with pouring sequences and test different strategies to solve the age-old puzzle, making it useful for education or casual puzzle exploration.

    Hello, HN - I wanted to share this puzzle game I made during my vacation. I'm rather fond of the pipes puzzle where your goal is to restore a scrambled network of connections by rotating tiles. It's usually played on a grid of squares and this all started when I decided to make a programmatic solver for that kind of puzzle. Then I realized that with some minor changes the solver could generate new puzzle instances. I thought about what kind of puzzle to make and someone suggested a hexagonal grid. Adapting the generator wasn't too hard but then I had to create a way to play this variant. So…
