Compact solutionsCompact solutions of the square set are at the core of BackSlide, a "15-puzzle" with a very unusual twist. Several kinds of symmetry are possible, like this rotational symmetric "subsequent hexes" solution. Or these orthogonally symmetric "subsequent hexes" (with the 16 orthogonally symmetric pieces in the vertical axis). Or this diagonally symmetric diamond (with the 8 diagonally symmetric pieces in the horizontal axis). Here the shape is symmetric, but not the solution. Again the shape is symmetric, but not the solution. Figurines are also possible, like this Chess knight. Letters and numbers have all been solved. |
