I lack the sophistication to write a recipe. but I'd love to see one that essentially "flattens" a protein if one does not exist. For example, I ended up with a "thick" star with one try at the snowflake puzzle, and wanted to compress it. It would also have helped when I reset the puzzle and ended up with a barrel. I did see similar pictures by better folders than I. But what would happen if we could have "flattened" the proteins?
I lack the sophistication to find or write recipes. however, I would love to see something to "flatten" a protein. For example, in the recent snowflake puzzle, I had a somewhat thick star shape I wanted to flatten in one try, and a barrel in another attempt. I did see better folders had similar shapes. What if we could compress them?
I really don't understand why all recipes are squeezed together into the all.macros file whose contents look like it contains JSON which contains strings which in turn are JSON which in turn contains more strings… Look at all the escaping piling up with loads of backslashes!
But with all the files starting with 'puzzle_' directly in the game directory I get a feeling that the developers of this game do not understand or do not like the concept of "directories".
Sorry for the rant, but can anyone explain me why all recipes are crammed into all.macros? I seriously do not understand it.
Putting the recipes in a directory "recipes" as separate files (one file per recipe) would make it much more accessible to external editors. You could either create subfolders for the dividers in the Cookbook or put the information which recipe is in which divider into a separate file. I really don't care about having all the meta-information about the recipes in one file, but the recipe contents should be in one file per recipe (at least in my understanding of files and file systems). If you really want to have it be one file why not use a common archive format like .zip or .tar?
