About
Mind the Overlap is a puzzle game based on a famous optimization problem called JobShop. The objective is simply to arrange the bars within their rows, so that the same colors do not overlap. In other words, no two bars of the same color may share the same horizontal span. By arranging the bars, you have scheduled the production process. The rows represent operations, the colors represent machines, which preform these operations.
