Geraniums Pot - Intersecting Circles Puzzles Simulator

This is a simulator of the famous "Geranium" puzzles. I added 610 different puzzles.

Download win-installer or linux-app for Geraniums Pot Simulator

Only a mini version of the installer is available here (due to file size limitations), you need to unpack the folder from the Photo-zip archive into the program directory yourself. Or you can download the full version of the installer using the green button from the Sourceforge website. The special version compiled for Linux is in section 1-9-1. But you can run the new win-version of the program under Linux using Wine. You can see screenshots of all the puzzles in the Galery-zip archive.

You can create a text file with a script that describes the location of circles. I have created files for all real intersecting circles puzzles, you can download them from the "Garden" folder.

You can download the Gallery.zip file to see all the screenshots of all the puzzles.
