You are welcome. But it is "made for Eduard" and not "made by Eduard".

Thanks Roice! I totally forgot about that. And special thanks to Eduard for the wonderfully illustrated instructions!

Here is the documentation page for configuring colorings (made for Eduard a while back)&#58;

I'll be the first to admit that creating new colorings is not the easiest thing.  I'm happy to answer questions though, or to discuss how it might be improved. 

Cheers,<br>

OK, good to know, thanks Andrey. It surprises me a bit that puzzles with more colors are harder. That seems counter to the pattern where for example, the Rubik’s cube with 6 colors seems harder than the Megaminx with 12. Hopefully Roice will jump in with additional documentation on his puzzle file format. I would like to see what sort of fascinating new puzzles you come up with.

Melinda,
I’ve solved some of puzzles a couple of months ago, but there was nothing new for me - just versions of tetrahedron and cube. For something new we should try new coloring (with 12,24,36 colors etc.). Unfortunately I don’t understand Roice’s notation of puzzle definition, and can’t add good puzzles to MT.

Dear Cubists,

    It's been a while now since Roice added several (approximately) infinite <br>
    polygons to Magic Tile under &quot;Hyperbolic &gt; Large Polygons&quot;, and I've not <br>
    seen or heard of any solutions to the ones with more than three colors. <br>
    Has anyone done that? Even with 5 random twists I find myself hopelessly <br>
    lost, but then I'm not a strong solver. These new puzzles sure look <br>
    fabulous. How do they compare to the rest?
