Navigation: Everyone interacts with a computer differently. Three methods have been provided for advancing to the next step: object selection, arrow keys and html arrows in the instruction box. For those following along while assembling your own physical star puzzle the arrow keys will be a big help.
Video Annotations:Video annotations give additional hints and instruction. Video annotations give our customers the ultimate flexibility to provide additional detail and information.
Recommendations:The Star Puzzle Solution is best viewed on desktop and iPad. Mobile phones can also enjoy the fun in either landscape or portrait mode. A responsive menu system has been implemented that helps optimize screen space when needed.
Why we create demos:
With our internal projects, we explore new techniques, code and methodologies to help inform our workflows. As with all internal projects they are often interrupted multiple times during their development. During this time operating systems and browsers can be updated during development. In this case iOS 15.4 was released that caused several display related issues. The Star Puzzle then became the test bed that we used to determine the cause and provide a solution.
