I built this game over the past couple months. It's a Knights & Knaves puzzle game. You meet a group of people who are each either a knight (always tells the truth) or a knave (always lies), and have to figure out who's who from their statements.The fun part was the puzzle engine. It generates every possible puzzle for a given configuration by exhaustive enumeration, then checks all possible worlds against all possible statement assignments, deduplicating equivelant puzzles via canonical forms, and detecting which properties are uniquely determined vs. indeterminate. For larger configs (3+ people), it uses random sampling of phase space to reduce memory cost and time.The result is 57 million
