Galois – a puzzle computer game of the “falling blocks” type, but with unique features. Unlike most other games of that type, it is not limited to blocks made of four two-dimensional, square bricks: you can choose among several different brick shapes, blocks composed of more or fewer bricks, and even between two- and three-dimensional games.
The name of the game came from Évariste Galois a French mathematician, one of the founders of “group theory”, a framework that encompasses nearly all fields of modern mathematics.
