Sunday Social, August 04, “ Play & make online figure-ground puzzles”
When I designed puzzles for the computer game Heaven & Earth in 1992, inspired by the work of MCEscher, I included a level editor. Now the original programmer Ian Gilman has released a free web version, so you can play the puzzles and make new ones. Join us as we solve and make puzzles at https://www.

G4G Tributes
We continue to update and maintain multiple tribute pages. In this we hope to honour and remember the many who have made the G4G community the remarkable group it is. As well as to inspire and connect those who build on the shoulders of these giants. We welcome and encourage any contribution to these tributes.
