What is Coffee Sort Puzzle?

Coffee Sort Puzzle is a Logistical State-Stack and Topological Sorting simulator. The core logic utilizes a Restricted Transfer Algorithm: liquid segments can only move between "Nodes" (cups) if the target's top-layer "ID" matches the source or if the target is "Null" (empty). It is a test of Recursive Planning and spatial management within a finite stack-depth environment.

Description

Transfer stratified coffee layers between cups to isolate individual colors. The core challenge involves managing tight inventory space to prevent permanent liquid blockages while optimizing the pour sequence.

How to Play

Select a cup to "Pop" the top color layer and select another to "Push" it. The gameplay is Stratified Isolation: separate mixed coffee layers into monochromatic cups. Interaction involves Inventory Buffering—you must manage a limited number of "Working Slots" to avoid a "State Deadlock" where no valid moves remain.

How to Get High Scores in Coffee Sort Puzzle

High scores are achieved through "Buffer Preservation." The elite strategy is to maintain one "Clean Buffer" (empty cup) at all times. Prioritize clearing the cup with the least entropy (fewest color layers) first. By reducing the total number of active color-stacks, you increase the "Flow Efficiency" for the more complex, multi-layered stacks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the volume of the coffee matter?

Yes. Each cup has a "Maximum Capacity" (usually 4 units). You cannot transfer a layer if it exceeds the remaining capacity of the target cup.

Q: Is there an optimal move count?

While not explicitly displayed, the game calculates a "Shortest Path" solution. Solving closer to this count yields higher efficiency rankings.
