About two years ago, someone on Hatrack (I think it was here...) linked to an interesting online game. It was some kind of game that runs within a website, like java or something.
The game would begin with a bunch of lines and vertices on the screen. The object was to use the mouse to move vertices in such a way so that the lines connecting them would no longer cross over each other. In a way, it was sort of like unfolding a virtual 3-D object into a planar shape of some kind.
I used by best google-fu and Hatrack-search-fu and came up dry. If you know what I'm talking about, your help would be appreciated.

Found a link to the game on the 3rd result on a search for: flash game lines and vertices intersect

Wow, this game must have huge appeal with those who like to bring order to chaos.

Wow, that's an amazing game concept.
I continue to marvel at the fun to be had in simple puzzles invented by humble beings.

I love this game. After I finish playing, I still feel myself unfolding lines in my head.

It's fun how you start a new level and it looks impossible, but then eventually all falls into place.
I don't think of it as a game to solve as much as a fun activity, since it doesn't seem to get any harder with new levels, just more to do and less space to work with.
Just for the heck of it I tried to skip to the highest level I could. Entered 200 and my browser locked up on me.

Skipping to 50 is more than enough... The levels are created mathematically.

Thanks sci!
I hereby award you a black belt in google-fu. My search yielded nothing since I has entered 'java' not 'flash'.
Friday afternoon issues for me, I guess.

Wow, this is addictive! I just passed level five, and I'm now still going...`

I immediately thought of this game, untangle. Same concept as the other one posted.
