It seems that there is an obligatory ‘first post’, so I might as well use the opportunity to encourage you all to checkout h3ss<\/a>. It is a puzzle game set in 3-dimensional hyperbolic space. You push coloured blocks (icosahedra: 20-faced polyhedra) around this exponentially expanding space and try make all the blocks disappear by pressing <space> to update the state using rules similar to Conway’s game of life. An empty cell (the icosahedra tile the space similar to a cubic grid in Euclidean space) will become a coloured block if it has exactly three coloured blocks as neighbours. And a coloured block neighbouring three or more coloured blocks will disappear.<\/p>\n

\"h3ss\"<\/p>\n

Currently there is only three levels, but it is enough to at least start exploring the interesting properties of this non-Euclidean space.<\/p>","time":"August 29th, 2016 1:20 pm","title":"h3ss (first post)"}
