Description
I am a big Dragon Age fan and sunk hundreds of hours into Inquisition. It had this minigame called astrariums where you had to solve these shapes based on constellation guides by tracing stars. I'm a hobby game dev and wondered if I could procedurally generate these puzzles so they were always solvable. Turns out you can, so I built a space puzzle game around it with a colorful aesthetic. I released it in web form here but I'm currently working on getting it on Steam and mobile.

Could you build this?
Yes Procedural generation of Eulerian paths/graphs and rendering interactive line-tracing puzzles in a browser or game engine is a well-understood mathematical problem that an AI coding assistant can easily implement.
