POCKET EXPERIMENT / 0351

Oddpiece Foundry

Cast an odd-piece alloy into the outlined mold. The center seed is already hot metal; each new piece must touch the growing casting along an edge. Six unusual pieces arrive in order: P-five, L-five, T-five, L-three, straight-three, single. Rotate and Mirror change the current footprint; use the small footprint preview and tap its top-left anchor to stamp it. Pieces cannot overlap metal or the two blocked corner vents. Undo returns your last stamp and restores that piece. Fill all 23 mold cells. If the next piece has no legal placement in ANY rotation or mirror, the casting cools and the run ends. Keep awkward cavities accessible instead of filling the nearest open space.
