Euclidea’s solutions are a YouTube search away.
I personally prefer the satisfaction of finding the solutions myself, even if it sometimes takes me months to solve a given puzzle (I usually end up putting it on hold for weeks and then revisiting with a fresh perspective).
Over the years, I amassed 430/535 stars, not bad but still quite some stars to go.
I always wondered how they came up with the minimal constructions and if they ever got them wrong?
- alanbernstein 4y agoWhenever I play a puzzle game, I wonder about the construction of the puzzles and solutions. Who is responsible for it? Do they have a systematic method? Or does a solo indie game author just become so familiar with the mechanics of their game that most of the solutions become obvious? I definitely had these questions about euclidea. I like their other games as well, Pythagorea and x section.
- gilleain 4y agoAt least one person simply asks on Math Stack Exchange ... https://math.stackexchange.com/users/11955/ed-pegg https://math.stackexchange.com/users/11955/ed-pegg but yes, I suspect that when you get very familiar with the mechanics of the game, solutions become obvious. Or they construct 'backwards' from the solution to a problem, maybe.
