Fun little game

I had this on my old Android, so it’s nice to be able to get it again on apple. A good little brain workout, with the added bonus that my friends have yet to figure out how I can always win the tic tac toe :P

Cool

It’s a nice, simple introduction to higher dimension math, but most importantly, it’s fun (even if you already get the concept)

Great games

I just saw Jeff Weeks give a talk on the shape of space - the title of his book. In it, he used this exact game to demonstrate principles of geometry that could help us understand the universe we live in. For non-mathematicians the game can help give an understanding of how different spaces behave, and add to that how fun and well made these games are and you have something that is well worth downloading.

Also - includes other two and three dimensional models e.g., Klein bottle.

Thanks Jeff!

Thanks

I have used the Shape of Space program in my classroom and LOVE that the students can now access the games on iPads. Thanks for making such a great learning tool and making it available for free!

Uhhhhhh

The game boards never end and of you get the game you will understand, it is super awkward to play any game and that is it, it would be a better game without the. Repeating game boards!
