I invented this game in 2005, it's called Planarity. http://planarity.net/ It has a wikipedia page! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planarity Since Flash is dead I rewrote in JavaScript: http://johntantalo.com/raphael.planarity/ Here's a short doc about how the puzzle generation algorithm works: http://johntantalo.com/wiki/Planarity/

    New puzzle: `Untangle', cloned (with the addition of random grid
    generation) from a simple but rather fun Flash game I saw this
    morning.
How much did you make via PayPal donations back then, if you don't mind my asking?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

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?

I did flag it. Maybe more people flagging it would help?

Plagiarism really does get my dander up.

"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/

Yeah, I saw that in another comment and flagged the posting.
