- I'm pretty sure we led the Power Phrase finding race for most of the contest. The reason for that is that we had a huge Lovecraft guru on our team. He spent the whole contest deciphering your clues.

with a weighted heat map that the pieces just "walk" down to lower numbers.
You can watch it work with commands like
bin/solve -d data/problem_9.jsonor read the source code inlib/hexris/ai.rb. - We started by building a totally playable version of the game. We spent some
time trying the game manually so we could understand what we were trying to
create. You could play this version with a command like
bin/play data/problem_0.json.
