Original revision: 5123b1bf68777ffa86e651f178046b26a87cf2d9 MIT Licensed. Some games still crash and others are unplayable due to issues with controls. Still need a "real" polygon filling algorithm. Currently builds one plugin per puzzle (about 40 in total, around 100K each on ARM), but can easily be made to build a single monolithic overlay (800K or so on ARM). The following games are at least partially broken for various reasons, and have been disabled on this commit: Cube: failed assertion with "Icosahedron" setting Keen: input issues Mines: weird stuff happens on target Palisade: input issues Solo: input issues, occasional crash on target Towers: input issues Undead: input issues Unequal: input and drawing issues (concave polys) Untangle: input issues Features left to do: - In-game help system - Figure out the weird bugs Change-Id: I7c69b6860ab115f973c8d76799502e9bb3d52368

Fill in the grid with the letters shown to the top and left of it, so
|
|
that the full grid is a valid
|
|
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cayley_table">Cayley table</a>
|
|
for a
|
|
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_(mathematics)">group</a>.

|
|
If you don't already know what a group is, I don't really recommend
|
|
trying to play this game. But if you want to try anyway, the above is
|
|
equivalent to saying that the following conditions must be satisfied:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Latin square</strong>. Every row and column must contain
|
|
exactly one of each letter.
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Identity</strong>. There must be some letter <i>e</i> such
|
|
that, for all <i>a</i>, the letter in row <i>e</i> column <i>a</i> and
|
|
the one in row <i>a</i> column <i>e</i> are both <i>a</i>. In the
|
|
default mode, this letter is always <i>e</i> and its row and column
|
|
are filled in for you; by reconfiguring the game using the Type menu,
|
|
you can select a mode in which you have to work out which letter is
|
|
the identity.
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Inverses</strong>. For every letter <i>a</i>, there must be
|
|
some letter <i>b</i> (which may sometimes be the same letter
|
|
as <i>a</i>) such that the letters in row <i>a</i> column <i>b</i> and
|
|
in row <i>b</i> column <i>a</i> are both the identity letter (as
|
|
defined above).
|
|
<li>
|
|
<strong>Associativity</strong>. For every combination of
|
|
letters <i>a</i>, <i>b</i>, and <i>c</i>, denote the letter in
|
|
row <i>a</i> column <i>b</i> by <i>d</i>, and the one in row <i>b</i>
|
|
column <i>c</i> by <i>e</i>. Then the letters in row <i>d</i>
|
|
column <i>c</i> and in row <i>a</i> column <i>e</i> must be the same.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To place a letter, click in a square to select it, then type the
|
|
letter on the keyboard. To erase a letter, click to select a square
|
|
and then press Backspace.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Right-click in a square and then type a letter to add or remove the
|
|
number as a pencil mark, indicating letters that you think
|
|
<em>might</em> go in that square.
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can rearrange the order of elements in the rows and columns by
|
|
dragging the column or row headings back and forth. (The rows and
|
|
columns will stay in sync with each other.) Also,
|
|
left-clicking <em>between</em> two row or column headings will add or
|
|
remove a thick line between those two rows and the corresponding pair
|
|
of columns (which is useful if you're considering a subgroup and its
|
|
cosets).
