Today I played around with a little parsimonious universe for exploring easy versions of certain problems. I've had trouble with stuff like this in the past, and this time I'm hoping to make more progress by:

1. simplifying the problems to this parsimonious "Rectangle world" setting;
2. starting out really easy and gradually building up to harder problems; and
3. building up some tools for visual debugging along the way.

This post is part of my Freewheeling Apps Devlog.

Comments gratefully appreciated. Please send them to me by any method of your choice and I'll include them here.
