Abdec is a brave and successful endeavor to explore the design space of puzzles about the _ruleset_. If you ever thought about making a game where the goal is to guess the rule of the game, you will love this.
I released a new puzzle book today. It's called Abdec.
It contains 50 packing puzzles. You need to figure out all the rules by yourself. It's probably my most unapproachable game so far, so beware. I do hope some of you will enjoy its strange design.

Fun and cute-looking puzzle book for the puzzle game fans. The puzzles are well crafted, and sometimes you even have to figure out the rules! The mechanics work particularly well with the paper format I think.

That's it, my first long twitter thread; shout out to all students and junior researchers who are currently depressed and having doubts whether this is the right career for us. I don't have the answer, but from time to time there are cheerful moments that keep us going. 17/

tl;dr Planar graphs are highly compressable. Given an n-node planar graph with k terminal, we can compute an emulator of size O(k polylog k) that preserves distances up to 1+ε distortion. 1/
