Instructions

The objective of this puzzle is to connect the points with lines in the uncompleted puzzle so it matches the completed puzzle. You can not draw over existing lines. You first choose a starting point, then click on a different valid point (see completed puzzle) to connect both points with a line. Pick another valid point from the last point you just picked and connect those two points. Repeat this process over and over again until all lines are drawn to match the completed puzzle.

Keep your eye on the status line below the puzzles, this will give you feedback while you are trying to solve the puzzle.

If you come to a point where no lines can be drawn, you lose. Press the restart button and give it another shot.

There are three puzzles to choose from, so go have some fun!!! (If you select another puzzle and nothing happends, move the mouse around and this should help.


Winner Log

Due to time limitations this feature was not implemented. The plan was to have a winner log to keep track of the "ten best times." When you start to solve the puzzle the timer (beside the status line) would keep track of your time. When you completed the puzzle successfully, your time would be compared with the times in winner log. If your time was better than at least one of the ten times in the winner log, your information would be added.

To do this we designed a server to listen for the puzzle client. (If your score was to be added) The server would keep track of the puzzle players name, date solved, and time it took to solve. We thought it would be interesting for people to compete with others from all around the world.
