I've been prototyping something based on WelshPixie, Cont Sgrechian (npub1dxj…esa7)'s Celtic knot tutorial.

The whole thing strikes me as art that's for creating rather than consuming, like life drawing or a mandala, so like, obviously my goal here is not to create computer-generated images so I don't have to draw them.
I'm playing with the maths of these knots with a view to seeing if there's a puzzle game in there, perhaps in a "get all the red dots on one knot and all the blue dots on another and you only have three walls to place" kind of deal.
Normally I'm a "stare at the puzzle and do logic until it breaks" kinda guy but given the nature of the source material it feels like this ought to be a more meditative "click around and chill out" vibe. But I've no idea, this isn't a fully-formed plan, it's just a poking-around "I bet there's a fun puzzle in here somewhere" dive.
