Design constraints:

  • The solution path is from the outside opening to the large courtyard in the middle (or the reverse depending on how you look at it)
  • no walls meet at a checkerboard / catty corner angle. All corners are solid L-shapes
  • no 4x4 empty spaces outside of the entrance and nine courtyards
  • no loops where you can return to a point without retracing your original path
  • all small courtyards have an entrance and exit and are part of the solve path to the center
  • all large courtyards (I’m going to put side goals / easter eggs in them) have only one entrance and are reachable as a branch of the solution path after the small courtyard that they are clockwise from.

If you’re curious, the center is a witch / wizard tower covered and filled with plants with a ground floor that’s an open arboretum kinda thing with stairs leading upward and a 2-level loft kinda thing up top with the bed / bath etc. When I used to play the sims the occupant would be a completely leveled up witch / wizard. Even if they don’t officially add a magic mechanic in Inzoi I’m sure there will be a community mod at some point…

Blueprint / Solution:

EDIT: Removed / rearranged accidental Swastika just to the right of the lower-left large courtyard. original below.

    There was a short story I read a while back that also featured that plot point, but I don’t remember what it was called.

    Only that I found it after reading into inspirations for The Laundry Files by Charles Stross.
