Planarity Flash Game/Puzzle

Planarity - Move the vertices till none of the connections intersect


Sample:

[Fat Tone]

Did No.4, No.5 looks too scary!

[spadnos]

It does get pretty hard after level 4 or 5.

[MultimediaMan]

Level 7 completed....12:27

The big thing is to isolate those endpoints that only have Two lines associated with them and use those as your baseline, after that, it is simply a matter of dragging the rest into the center to make them all fit.

Another way to quickly isolate the endpoints is to drag all points to one point in the screen to triage them, discard those you qon't want to deal with right off until you locate your two point anchors and go from there.

Funny thing is, I have always sucked at theoretical geometry.

[Gurm]

1-4, cake.
5, ok.
6-8, a little more difficult.

Working on 9 now.

[spadnos]

Unfortunately, I got screwed on level 9. hint: don't try to upload your score, it resets the game

It does look like fun, though.

[Kooldino]

Screw this game. The more you play the harder it gets. Cool game though.

[Gurm]

Taking MM's excellent advice, I have concentrated on the vertices which connect to only two edges. It has decreased my solution time of each level immensely!

[Gurm]

Level 9... 11:43, but the last two minutes of that was finding the LAST crossed vertice.

[Gurm]

Level 10... 8:35

These are getting... not harder, just bigger.

Practice makes perfect!

[agallag]

Level 15 looks like it'll be... uh... time consuming.

[agallag]

Once you get to the last few crossed vertices in these big ones, shockwave starts to lag out pretty badly. I guess there's a lot of iterations in the script or something...

[agallag]

Up to level 17. Damn it's getting sluggish.

[Gurm]

Yup. I think it runs some sort of "ooh, has he DONE it" vertice checking algorithm.

[agallag]

Finished level 20, and it's officially too slow to continue. Fun while it lasted though.
