Designing Engare, a game born of a charming geometry problem

"One day my geometry teacher asked a question and everyone in the class was so fascinated by that question," says Engare dev Mahdi Bahrami. "I decided to make a little game based on this question."

Engare’s goal is not just to keep the mind busy for a few hours, though, but to excite the imagination with the same possibilities that can be seen in striking Middle Eastern art and architecture. It’s an exploration of the beauty in mathematical thought, and to draw the player into seeing what they, too can create through its seemingly strict motions.
