For Mathematical Puzzles Enthusiasts
The Towers of Hanoi, also known as the Tower of Brahma and Lucas' Tower, is a captivating puzzle with a mathematical solution. It features three rods and a set of disks of varying sizes, arranged in a conical shape with the smallest disk at the top.
The goal is to transfer all the disks from the left rod to the right rod using the fewest possible moves, adhering to these three rules:
- Only one disk can be moved at a time.
- Only the topmost disk can be moved to another rod, whether it's empty or not.
- A larger disk cannot be placed on top of a smaller one.
The game progresses through levels. Completing a level by moving all disks to the right rod advances you to the next level, which introduces an additional disk to the left rod, increasing the complexity. Upon finishing each level, an end-level dialogue displays:
- The completed level number.
- The time taken to complete it.
- Whether a time record was achieved.
- A 3-star rating based on:
- Using the minimal number of moves.
- Completing the level without errors or mistakes.
- Achieving a time record.
To win the game, players must successfully complete 7 levels. At the end, a comprehensive results chart is shown, detailing the times, records, number of correct and incorrect moves, the 3-star ratings earned, and which of the following six achievements were unlocked:
Achievements:
- The First 3 Stars: Awarded when the player earns their first 3-star rating.
- 3 Impeccable Levels: Awarded for achieving 3-star ratings in three consecutive levels.
- 4 Consecutive Time Records: Awarded for setting time records in four consecutive levels.
- Unstoppable!: Awarded for setting time records in five levels.
- Game Completed: Awarded for completing all seven levels.
- Best Game Time: Awarded for finishing the game in the shortest possible time.
We hope you enjoy this engaging mathematical challenge.
