Nice! I was having fun with it, but then I got to "divide the segment in half". It's super easy, but it's too zoomed in for me to click on the snaps I want, and I can't find a way to zoom out. Clicking "full screen" gives the same level of zoom. What am I missing?

Edit: I just now tried Euclidea for the 1st time, and even tho its UX is a lot more polished, it starts off with lots of lines & midpoints. I appreciate that Ecocoru starts off with more circle-oriented problems, so that we can get a taste of using a compass. The 1st hexagon problem, though easy, was a joy to discover!

I assume you're trying to find the half-point by making a circle with center in each end of the line, with radius spanning to the other end. Which is too big for the game area.

However, what you need is to equal circles from each end point, no matter the size as long as they overlap. So the solution here is to make a smaller circle on one point, and using the compass make a "copy" of that circle with the same radius at the other point.
