I discovered this coding puzzle in numero 4 of Paged Out, on page 32.

I found it fun and wrote my own solution in Python: paintbrush.py

It reminded me of Project Euler problems.

I recommend to give it a go based on the Paged Out one-page article, without reading Alperen Keles answer or mine! 🙂

"Between 1987 and 1994, the British channel Network7 broadcasted 112 episodes of the TV game show Maze Masters, an interactive adventure targeting younger audiences. Only some parts of the show were aired.
The different sections of this CD-ROM explore the format and the backstage of the show. The idea is to shed a new light on the strange events which have been revealed afterwards."

​Amazing experience!

Wonderfully creepy exploration... 😱

À tester absolument pour les amateurs d'Analog Horror / SCP / ALT236 / Public Access.

Le jeu m'a également rappelé les jeux de Sam Barlow comme Tellings Lies ou Her Story

Daniel Linssen, aka managore, is a fantastic indie game developer.

I already wrote this sentence, when I covered some of his games in the past: daniel-linssen tag.

In Hop Slide, he was already playing with windows of the player operating system to create a wonderfully clever game.

And he did it again in windowframe!

But not only is the game very inventive, it is also very well crafted and fun to play, but beware: the puzzles are quite difficult!
I had to resort to a walkthtough a couple of times...
