Torus and Klein Bottle Games
http://www.geometrygames.org/TorusGames
Jeff Weeks has rewritten the Torus and Klein Bottle Games as a
native Windows application. The new features:
- smoother, more reliable loading and execution
- two new games (Pool and Apples) in addition to all the
old games (Tic-Tac-Toe, Maze, Crossword, Word Search, Jigsaw Puzzle and Chess)
- available in English, French, and Italian
- fast, high-quality graphics, expandable in any size window
- a mouse cursor that tracks on the torus or Klein bottle itself, for a more thorough understanding of those spaces
A Mac OS X version should become available in the 2006-2007 academic year. In the meantime, the online versions are accessible here for Macintosh users:
