01Het probleem

Cultural motifs used decoratively usually end up as wallpaper. The pattern had to be the mechanic, not the background — otherwise the heritage is just a skin.

02Wat we hebben gedaan

The board generator works from real zellige tiling rules, so every layout that appears is geometrically legitimate rather than randomly decorated. Rendering runs on Canvas for frame stability on mid-range phones.

03Wat er veranderde

A game where the cultural reference survives contact with the gameplay — the patterns are the puzzle.
