I'll wait for NON-EUCLID: The Game.

Too many curves; not for me.

Level 11 has a bug; solved it but it didn't work. 

edit:  O I guess I was assuming AC is perpendicular to BC.  This is embarrassing.

I started reading Euclid a long time ago but I immediately spotted the bug in the first proof and couldn't bring myself to go on. Then I tried reading David Hilbert's modern rigorous axiomatization of geometry ("Foundations of Geometry") but got stuck on one of the proofs in chapter 2 or so (this might've been back when I read books by trying to force myself to prove everything myself in my head before reading the author's proof).

I always wanted to make a game that would start with a tutorial that would use Hilbert's axioms to explain the concept of 3D space to the player as if she was a non-spatial being from a non-spatial universe (e.g., elaborately developing the concept of "betweenness" as if the player had never encountered it before), as a parody of game tutorials.

Is the final level trisecting an angle?

It's called Antichamber. :smug

Now I'm stuck on 14. ._. Hm, OK, pretty sure I have the solution, but it's not accepting it. Someone in the comments has the same issue.
