Mathstick 2 is now ready!

Same as my first version, you can earn sticks to unlock the next level and the challenges get harder as you progress. With the newly added Puzzled Maker, you can now create your own matchstick puzzles and generate a shareable link to stump your friends :)

For example, check out this custom challenge I just created: https://mathstick.github.io/play?q=ktoylsjcnmylbetuinmylielj...

Feel free to share your puzzles below and feedback is welcome.

Nice! What did you build this with?

Also, submit it to https://hnarcade.com :)

trangram•1h ago
js+css, angular only for fancy pop menu and dropdown list, no angular material though, as as to keep it simple and lightweight.

sure, will have a look. thanks!

I think I broke it a little, playing around with INT64_MAX - https://mathstick.github.io/play?q=hrojihaacciabcmtskiistbij...

Edit: mostly directed at OP, the puzzle maker claimed something like 12 identical solutions for the same puzzle

Yeah, you did! It's integer overflow, good catch!

Would you be willing to add a manifest so this can be "installed" as an app on Android?

sure i'll consider converting it to PWA if people prefer playing the main game than creating and sharing puzzles with the Puzzle Maker.

Why does it take so long to release black fan versions?
