Fractal Puzzle Kickstarter Success

The first time I ran a kickstarter I just kind of launched it and told a few people once I'd done it, the whole thing funded in 24 hours which was great news.

We hit nearly £4K in 24 hours which is a promising start, now I need to push it a bit to keep up some of that momentum.

The Peano curve and Wunderlich Curve 1 were quite a bit harder to create and I had to wait for inspiration to strike. The repeating section on those puzzles is obvious but it was hard to find 13 different ways to split the puzzle without making it too simple. I'm sure you'll appreciate the solutions I found and enjoy their fiendish new complexities. My extended family were subjected to timed testing a few weeks back and nearly all of them ga...
