Saxon's Poly-Universe was created to show that a logic-stimulating mathematical game could derive from an artistic concept. It combines colours with basic geometrical shapes on two-dimensional plane to set up three different board games (square, triangle and circle). In these games, players can customise the rules, the difficulty level of which increases with the compactness of the form, and the homogeneousness of the pattern preferred. We have chosen the square pack to test software algorithms capable of solving the most difficult player requirements possible. The purpose was also to optimise the computing time with the hardware capacity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
