I can't believe you're tricking me in learning knot theory

The concept is super cool and creative, I doubt I'll find a lot of people that managed to come up with topology as a theme for this jam.

The UX works really well, the loop trying to auto complete and showing all points that would add a knot makes learning the mechanics behind it pretty easy.

I was afraid I would be stuck when the 7's started showing up and there were no more knot fun facts (tutorials) but knowing you need the 8 figure for evens made it pretty easy to find all numbers I needed on the fly after getting into it

(with only slighlty different theming, this mechanic also would work as a good way to draw spell circles lmao, its very satisfying)

Funny you should say that, because a Pythagorean wizard using knots to cast spells was one of the first visual/narrative ideas we had for the knot drawing premise - so much that Phoebe and Tau are supposed to still be sorta "magical scientists" even if that doesn't come through too clearly in the designs (what else can you do when you're designing and drawing them at the end of a last day sprint?).
