# gplanarity(6)

simple puzzle game involving untangling planar graphs

## NAME

gplanarity — simple puzzle game involving untangling planar graphs

## SYNOPSIS

**gplanarity**

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page was written for the **Debian** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.

**gplanarity** is a simple puzzle game  involving untangling planar graphs for fun and prizes. If you tend  to get addicted to cute little math puzzles, this one is a doozy.

It is a super-clone of the flash Planarity game written by John  Tantalo. The original Planarity ran well in IE and Firefox on other  platforms, but was slow and liked to lock up or abort under Linux  browsers.

**gplanarity** implements gameplay identical  to the original Planarity but adds some UI and game extras around  the basic game such as multiple board generation algorithms,  puzzle boards, complete backing state, group select/drag and so  on.

## OPTIONS

This program does not take any command line options.
