Another satisfying session of visual debugging.

I created a little app for first-graders to practice addition. They seem to enjoy these sudoku-like puzzles, and we ran out of them in the workbook.

Generating gets a little subtle. I thought I was done, but the totals were >10. Trying to fix that generated invalid puzzles, and I had to ping-pong a bit between the two.

All through, it was nice to try out different straight-line solutions and animate them as I tested.

Detail of the code for this app as seen inside driver.love. Uncommenting the 'loiter()' lines slows things down while generating a new puzzle, so that I can keep up with what the computer is doing.

This post is part of my Freewheeling Apps Devlog.

Comments gratefully appreciated. Please send them to me by any method of your choice and I'll include them here.
