Appears to be a repackaging of Tronix by Danijel Durakovic.[1] Includes his code but this is not mentioned in the credits.[2] [1] http://pulzed.com/ [2] https://treksit.netlify.app/credits.html

Yup, totally plagiarized.

Changed a few colors, and added a background that makes the page lag. Didn't change the text or even the order of the levels. The small size of the bounding box is because he didn't expand it from the original.

I like this, but I swear there was a Flash version of something very similar that went viral about 15 years ago.

"planarity" The game is cool, but I think the title is overly general. It contaons a graph visualizer, which doesn't show much in the way of theory; and it's a railroad, not a playground.

No- he outright plagiarized this. Even the code: http://pulzed.com/

Meanwhile, the post is still at the top of HN and he keeps receiving clicks. Can the mods change the link to the original one?

That’s also one of the puzzles in Simon Tatham's Portable Puzzle Collection ( https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ )

Yeah, I was going to say, I've played a lot of this because I ran Kubuntu on my laptop for several years and Simon Tatham’s games are sort of our win-98-minesweeper.

Simon Tatham's puzzles are also available as mobile apps -- ad-free, and highly recommended -- and can also be played via the Web. The Signpost puzzle is my personal favourite. :)

Thanks for the link - this version is -much- better in my opinion! None of the needless junk, just a great game.

I invented this game in 2005, it's called Planarity.

http://planarity.net/

It has a wikipedia page!

Since Flash is dead I rewrote in JavaScript:

Here's a short doc about how the puzzle generation algorithm works:

Someone with mod power should change the link to the original.
