Hexagon Tangram Puzzle
How can AI assist with puzzle design?
To explore this issue, we designed a hexagon-shaped tangram puzzle. During the design process, we used AI to answer design queries about the puzzle.
The complete design process is documented in an
AIIDE 2024 paper.
Associated with the paper are resources that came out of the design, including puzzles, .stl files that were used to 3d print the puzzle. This

Code that uses EPCG to generate all possible puzzles solutions and corresponding starting states can be found in the HOG2 GitHub repository |
 |
All possible puzzles, including:
- All solvable boards
- Six sets of solved puzzles sorted by approximate difficulty
- Six sets of puzzle initial positions corresponding to the solved puzzles

3D Models of the resulting puzzle and board. These models are generated from a geometric description of the pieces which can be exported from the code. Currently they are generated in a low-resolution voxel format. (5 voxels per mm vs 20 voxels per mm)
