Later he decided to turn this idea into a puzzle game and he created an algorithm which was able to generate infinite number of such mysterious magic squares. He divided this puzzle into 4 different difficulty modes. In easy , 8 numbers out of 16 are already placed at correct position user need to place remaining 8 numbers to create a magic square. With increase in difficulty initial numbers which are placed at correct position goes decreasing. In very difficult game none of the number is placed at correct position out of 16.
