    If you wish to get this game and send me interesting seeds to play (or custom puzzles!), get the game here! store.steampowered.com/app/304410/Hexcells_Infinite/
    I made the choice to cut out a lot of my silent thinking this time (this puzzle was HARD!), and I hope the flow of the video still holds up.

    Tyler in this game: "so if this one is blue then this means that that one can't be blue but because of that bracketed 2 we do a backflip and also this 5 means we have to build a dangling road and all this together means that this cell that hasn't even been talked about until this point has to be blue"

    I think a good feature for this game to have would be a sudoko style marking option that can be easily undone. Maybe a toggle button that lets you put small blue or black marks in unsolved squares instead of solving them? It'd make it much easier for viewers to follow along too.

    "At least one of these have to be blue no matter what. If this cell is blue then one of these cells would have to be blue, that would complete the 4, meaning this cell would be not blue. Now if this cell is not blue it doesn't matter by itself, but the fact is this column would then be complete, so both this cell and this cell would not be blue, meaning this 6 would be incomplete, so this cell cannot be blue."

    The fact that each 'random' seed is pre-proofed means that it's a solved game, and that the algorithm for solving is probably very simple. It'd be nice to see the dev's solving algorithm, just to see what the computer's approach is when compared to a person's approach to solving. It'd be interesting to see if a computer has any efficiencies over the human brain's solving method, assuming the algorithm is single-threaded and not multi-threaded, where it could solve multiple chunks at once if it were multi-threaded.

    • @justkarkat9575
      @justkarkat9575 3 роки тому +70

      Honestly, might just be that it randomly generates a pattern of blues and grays, and then assigns numbers that make it solvable, but who knows

    • @NStripleseven
      @NStripleseven 3 роки тому +93

      I would think to generate a solvable puzzle it would just iteratively remove unused information until it was satisfied with the difficulty, so it wouldn’t need a solving algorithm per se, it would just need an un-solving algorithm

    • @dachosens1
      @dachosens1 3 роки тому +6

      ​@@NStripleseven agree, i was also wondering how they things are related to the seed, so the seed should either give information to create the puzzle, or the puzzles are somehow sorted in a way that relates to the puzzle... or maybe its the end arrangment of blues and greys, its a number in binary (blue or gray oviously so binary in some way), and maybe shuffled somewhat

    • @algc19
      @algc19 3 роки тому +17

      My guess is that they generate a random puzzle and then check if there is a unique pattern of blues and greys satisfying the restrictions. If there is one, it is solvable. So there is no need for solving or un-solving algorithms. This is what they do with sudokus (it's called linear programming)

The first 'blue' is said at 1:01, and the final 'blue' is at 11:03. This means for the main 'blue' portion of the video blues were said at a pace of every 4.15 seconds. This has been a blue PSA.

    The 8-digit random code means that there are potentially 100 million random puzzles and the dev solved every one of them. Madlad (and about half of the puzzles are the difficulty in the video)

    i bought this on the ios store but its not the same game. very weird. i guess they are a few updates behind. there is no infinite mode and the entire layout is different.

    Tyler going galaxy brain 30 moves into the future and I'm stuck following on move 4 solving why one tile must be blue LOL. This game seems super fun but damn do I have trouble following along. love the content though. this is 10/10 gameplay even if I'm smooth braining it
