by Let’s use the Actilud website’s zebra puzzle editor to create a puzzle in three steps.
Have you ever tried to create a zebra puzzle yourself? It’s not easy, is it? There’s a lot of checking to be done! After all, it’s not enough just to write down different logical propositions. They must not contradict each other, and they must lead to a joint solution, which is rare enough the first time around! Of course, the solution also has to be unique! And it’s best to avoid redundant proposals if we want our puzzle to be interesting…
In short, it was a tedious job… until now. Because now the machine can take care of the tedious part, thanks to the integramme editor on the Actilud website . The software is indeed capable of testing thousands of grid combinations in a few seconds… allowing you to concentrate on the essential, the most interesting part: the design . All in three steps.
In short, it was tedious work… until now. But now the machine can take care of the tedious part, thanks to the Actilud zebra puzzle editor. The software is capable of testing thousands of grid combinations in a matter of seconds… allowing you to concentrate on the essential, most interesting part of the job: the design. All in just three steps.
The three stages are:
- planning: defining the story to be told, creating the grids with their headers and items;
- coding: programming the instructions for the Actilud designer. These instructions define the nature of the logical propositions to be generated. It is these propositions that will determine the level of difficulty of the puzzle. At the end of this phase, formal proposals are obtained;
- drafting: transformation of formal proposals into clear, readable statements.
