Thread: Tangloids

Does anyone have any information about a game called Tangloids? Apparantly it's a game thats meant to help explain spinor calculus? I've posted this in the physics section, but I suppose you maths guys will probably have a better idea of what's going on.

I've been trying to work out how to play the game, and what it signifies for spinors but can't really see it.

Heres the info I have, can't find anything else I'm afraid.

If it were me, I would start by reading Cartan's book.
