ConnectionBuilder
Started: 2020-Nov-21, Last Abandoned: 2020-Nov-23
A small rules-based experiment for generating valid sets of connections between two sides while avoiding crossing lines and ensuring every node is connected.
What I Built
I built a C# prototype that takes simple left/right node configurations and produces possible connection sets that satisfy the constraints. The repo includes concrete input/output examples so behavior can be checked quickly without digging through code first.
What I Learned
Constraint-driven problems are easier to reason about when the rules are explicit and test examples are written up in plain language first. That made it much easier to spot invalid combinations early.
