Wow Andrey, this is amazing!

I didn’t even know a {6,3,3} tessellation was attainable. I glossed
over such possibilities after reading on Wikipedia that there were only 4
hyperbolic honeycombs. But going back now, I see that claim is "constrained
by the existence of the regular polyhedra {p,q},{q,r}". So in this case,
the "regular polyhedron" {p,q} is an infinite hexagonal tiling! (am I
understanding right?) I’m looking forward to studying this more.

I’d also be curious to hear of any new found knowledge about how you
determined allowable coloring sets.

I’ve only had a few minutes to play with it, but here are a couple quick
comments:

• the sticker size slider isn’t working for me, and I wasn’t having much
  luck trying to edit this setting in the settings file either.
  
• both of the (b) puzzles crash the program for me, and I have to delete the
  settings file to get the program to start again after that.
  
• I would love it if you could implement the auto-spinning as in MC4D. I so
  want to set the thing in motion and watch it for a while to try to
  understand the space better. I’m facing the frustrating feeling people must
  get when they want more from something I make! Care to open source your
  code? :D

Truly Fantastic Andrey!
