Lee Sedol winning, and keeping his cool and not make any mistakes. AlphaGo, on the other hand, went bonker especially towards the end but it got into bad territory not because of silly mistakes but brilliant play by Lee Sedol. Could it poss

This is interesting. I wrote Tagxedo http://www.tagxedo.com which is another kind of constrained packing problem and there is a bit of similarity in the approaches. This is the first time I've heard of CNC packing and part

Nice. One improvement would be to throw in letters in frequencies proportional to the likelihood of appearance in actual text. For example: http://www.math.cornell.edu/~mec/2003-2004/cryptography/subs... Thou

I tried out the zooming capability (nice) but it seems like your stroke width does not change in response to the zoom level (at least not in lock step)? So the redness in the lady's dress changes as you zoom. Isn't that a problem?

It is a balance between playability and automation. Even minesweeper does that (auto deduce that a large region can be opened up). What I described is only the first-order "convenience" checking to avoid the pain of going way back

Another feature request... if a tile is already illegal (too many committed blue in line of sight, or no way to commit more blue to satisfy requirement), flag it already. I think the biggest pain is the counting. Otherwise, a nice game!

I see that this is very similar to Paper by 53 in several aspects... Is that what you are trying to compete with? In that case, I wonder the logic of an upfront price instead of Paper's strategy which is to give you something to try ou

This is indeed an interesting problem. I don't know what the runtime breakdown is, most likely in the sorting routine, but if that's the case the problem can be solved much faster but not resorting to generic stable_sort(). I summ

As a long-time C++ developer I wish people don't use any commenting tricks such as this, and I wish people don't use /* * / to comment their code, even if you develop in C. Instead, use // in modern C/C++. The reason is that we often need t

Steve Jobs killed Silverlight (and Flash). Not by providing a strictly superior technology, but by declaring that the category (rich web client) is unimportant. I'm unhappy that Silverlight is dead but not because of Microsoft.
