🎀 GPLANARITY(6) — the games manual glow-up 🎀

okay bestie, listen. this is gplanarity, a simple puzzle game involving untangling planar graphs, and it lives in section 6 of the manual (that's the games one, iykyk). buckle up. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gplanarity

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no drama. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

sooo the tea is: this manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. like, none. zero. not me being the friend who writes the group chat recap for everyone 🙈.

gplanarity is a simple puzzle game involving untangling planar graphs — for fun and prizes. no cap. and if you tend to get addicted to cute little math puzzles?? bestie. this one is a doozy. genuinely. 💀

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. not iconic behaviour tbh 😭.

so 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

it's giving "the original but it ate" 💅✨

💜 OPTIONS 💜

okay so here's the thing, and it's a short one:

  • no options — this program does not take any command line options. none. nada. it just runs. main character energy, no notes. 👑
fr fr: you literally cannot pass it a flag. don't try. it's not that kind of program. 🫶

and that's the whole page, bestie 🌈 — this was GPLANARITY(6), the section 6 games manual entry, and the footer is just GPLANARITY(6) all over again because it loves a little symmetry 💖. go untangle some graphs. you got this. 🧚
