This is a simple proof-of-concept for a game based around the idea of tying a shape into knots. The knots arebased on quadratic curves attached to a 9-tile grid so it moves predictably but not necessarily naturally. It's multi-touch enabled so you can move several different bits of the knot around simultaneously if you're on a touch device.
Drag the sections of the string around to create new patterns. If you match an existing pattern, a message will pop up. If you invent a new one, just type a name into the box below and save it. It'll be available the next time the game loads.
Patterns to look out for: circle, square, shuriken, springbok, bon-bon, shears, fox, deer, forgotten, bison, fat cat, skunk, star, squirrel, cockateel, shield, ghost, bunny, rocketship, yoda, woodpecker, samurai. Some of them are recognised when rotated or flipped horizontally or vertically, some aren't.
