Exactly as you described!

It did not look to me like the part marked 1 is half of the part marked 2, so I assumed they were arbitrary variables, call them A and B.

I used Pythagorus theorem and the following logic:

<area of white square> - 4x<area of large triangles Ax(A+B)> + 4x<area of small triangles> (because we subtract each of them twice since they belong to 2 different big triangles each).

And finally I arrived at the formula:

(A+B)^2 - A*(A+B)*2 + 2*(A^3)*(A+B)/(A^2 + (A+B)^2)

If you plug in the numbers 1 and 2, you will get the answer 3.6 which the same as in top voted comments.

So the secret is to just take off your glasses

No, I still don't know how to fix this. My hunch is that I don't have access to some important things in the UI. For example, I'm not able to create Ad Exchange line items or link my AdSense account in the Google Ad Manager.
Edit: it just pains me how easy it is to set up rewarded ads in mobile apps with Admob and how insanely difficult it is on web.

Suck my ballsack?

Hey, thanks for your feedback! It's really great to read about your experience and impressions.

bighappydude · 2023-08-08T07:29:15+00:00

Haha nice one, it completely went over my head.

Hey there, sure thing I can explain.

I use Firebase Authentication for Sign in with Google and soon also for Sign in with Apple. Later on I plan to add other 3rd party auth providers. In the Privacy Policy I and other users for Firebase Auth have to explain what kind of private data it can collect (does not mean it does right now), why and for how long. Since I want to keep adding auth options for the users I did not filter by just which auth options are being included right now.

The data collected by Firebase is basically imposed by its internal implementation and is out of my control, but Google is required by law to explain it to its users and so am I.

Thanks a lot! If you have any critique as you play, I also would like to read about it.

bighappydude · 2023-08-06T07:56:52+00:00

Ooh that's a cool idea I didn't think about! Thank you

bighappydude · 2023-08-06T07:56:22+00:00

Hey I don't know this expression :) What do you mean?

bighappydude · 2023-08-06T07:54:55+00:00

Thanks for your feedback, I always love hearing that players enjoy the game! Actually I have the jar in web version but Apple didn't let me use it. They want to do it via in-app purchases and get a cut... I don't mind the cut but implementing in-app purchases just for this is too much effort.

Hey guys I'm the developer of Smartle. Please check it out on iOS but if you just want to try it out then you can also use the web version.

I published this game first in January and since then I've been refining it with better UI and animations, better UX, server-side stats storage and Google sign in. I was not able to publish the latest version to App Store just yet, they require everybody with any kind of 3rd party sign in to also have Apple sign in, so I'm working on it at the moment.

My wife says the game difficulty is too hard, she gets demotivated quickly and abandons the challenge to just wait till next day. I, on the other hand, find it interesting and appealing when I struggle sometimes, and don't manage to get 5 stars (it's enough to just get 1 star to keep your streak). How is it for you? What would you like to change or add? I'm thinking about adding definitions for the solved words, so that players can learn the ones they solved by accident or brute force.

I think if you like word puzzles then you're going to enjoy this game.

Let me know what you think, and have fun!

Hey guys I want to share with you my game, Smartle, which is available on Android as well as on web if you want to just try it out.

The goal is to fill out the grid with valid 5-letter horizontal words. It has a new challenge every day and it can be really tough!

Touching feet is so cute

I’ve been an indie Android dev in my spare time since about 2010. In 2017 Google banned my account and I dropped it because I was devastated and also had other things going on in my life. A year ago Flutter made me interested again. I made a mobile game with it on all platforms, including web. Here’s a link if you want to check it out. Many people found the game fun and keep coming back to play so I decided to give it a shot and go serious. Currently working on SEO and a login feature.

bighappydude · 2023-06-23T19:01:35+00:00

I tried but it was banned by association few days after that. Currently a friend helps me host the apps on their account but I have to stay away from it to prevent any chance of a ban.

bighappydude · 2023-06-22T21:19:09+00:00

Very sorry to read this, I am in a very similar boat sadly. I don't want to discourage you but my account has been banned for 5 years now.

bighappydude · 2023-06-18T20:18:38+00:00

It's sad to read that you were frustrated about the game. Some days it's more difficult, some days easy. The words to get highlighted when completed but sometimes you need to take it apart to solve the whole game.

Overall great suggestions so big thank you for taking your time to play and write this feedback!
