Fogleman here. Funny to see an old project in the #1 spot (again?). I hesitate to comment about this being productive while having kids thing, but some people seem to be implying that I must never spend time with my kids. It's far from

Or, in my case, a small scratch from my toothbrush flares up into a super painful canker sore.

Awesome find, thanks! Wonder if I can find this Mark Engelberg fellow...

The exit is on the right, so there is no horizontal symmetry. For odd sized boards there is vertical symmetry, which I haven't addressed since I was mainly concerned with 6x6.

I like Peter Norvig. You inspired me to email him about this.

Thanks for calling me out on that. I hate it when online content is missing a date. There is a date on the "More" page that links to this, but it should be on the page itself too!

Mentioned this in the Prior Art section and another comment here, but his "moves" are single-square steps. Running my solve utility on his hardest puzzle yields: $ go run cmd/solve/main.go BBBCDEFGGCDEF.AADEHHI....JI.KK.

Nice! I like how the piece directions are indicated in the GIF.

I linked to this in the Prior Art section. This is the one I wasn't very impressed with. For one, his "moves" are unit-steps.

I never actually looked for one! I considered implementing my own but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Haha. Well, if you have ideas I'm all ears!

My 5-year old son says "I can't figure it out, it's too hard!"

One simple idea I had was NumMoves * log(ClusterSize) as a difficulty metric. But I'm not sure. I had my wife play several different puzzles to try to gauge difficulty based on that but it didn't seem so clear cut.

There's code and data that people can "try out". Some of my past Show HNs have been of a similar format. But if a mod wants to edit the title, go ahead.

Just finished this write up documenting my latest side project. I've been a bit obsessed with this problem for the past few weeks. Hope you like it! Be sure to check out the puzzle database and let me know if you do anything cool with

Recently bought this puzzle game for my kids. Naturally, I had to write my own solver. My son loves that I wrote a program that can generate new puzzles. I even 3D printed some "traffic cones" that can be placed on the board as im

Scroll zoom direction preference is basically a toss up, but the panning seems natural to me.

Not just bishops, also rooks (and queens). Magic bitboards are awesome. Here's my implementation: https://github.com/fogleman/MisterQueen/blob/master/src/bb.c...

Haha, everyone says that but it's totally coincidental - they're just in alphabetical order. (GitHub looks like an O)
