This sounds interesting. Will it be available on mobile?
It should work on mobile browsers (though I haven't tested yet).
Not on iOS — just a gray background with the centered “code” link to the repo. No shapes, no interactivity.

#132IMO this would be more enjoyable if the shapes were more different morphologically, and fewer (ideally no) close pairs which differ only in the length of a segment by a single block. After the first couple of wrong guesses (though I'm pretty sure one guess was correct - could be the bug https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30408567 ) I started to count segment lengths rather than relying on mental shape rotation.
Using less strength in your solving algo is a peak shape rotator skill. It’s yet another kobyashi Maru incident.

#133Can't even rotate the individual shapes to see them in their entirety.

#13410 shapes 12 sec/shape (2nd try, no brute-force, mobile) 16 shapes (3rd try) 18 shapes (4th try) 24 shapes (5th try, no brute-force) P.S. I had 7 years of art school in addition to engineering
13 shapes 9.23/shape (2nd try no brute force)
no qualifications, other than liking physical 3d puzzles

#135It would be cool to show some stats on what other people scored.

#137Does anyone else feel their brain “heat up” when doing intensive thinking like this?
I feel really anxious seeing time running out and wanting to find more matches. Fun game, but definitely not something to relax, at least for me ;)
Re: Show HN: Test your shape rotation skills
#138Small bug: occasionally there are multiple matching pairs, although only 1 works (screenshot: https://ibb.co/JpRp0Pm ) Additionally, the auto rotation itself is mostly confusing, could be better to enable manual mouse rotation. Cool game nonetheless! Edit: The bug seems to be that shapes with different "DNA" can still be isometric in some cases: https://github.com/0xf00ff00f/rotator/blob/master/demo.cc#L4...
Hey, this should be fixed now. Thanks again!
Re: Show HN: Test your shape rotation skills
#139Suggestion, show the matching pair when the timer runs out.

#140So cool, I love this! I’d love to play around with it, but I don’t see a license at a glance. If I were to make a variation of this, would I be allowed to share it with attribution to this version?
Hey, just added a license. It's public domain, but if you do something with this I'd love to hear about it!
