The Wikipedia entry for the Codex Seraphinianus states: "The Codex Seraphinianus is a book written and illustrated by the Italian artist, architect and industrial designer Luigi Serafini during thirty months, from 1976 to 1978.[1] The book is approximately 360 pages long (depending on edition), and appears to be a visual encyclopedia of an unknown world, written in one of its languages, a thus-far undeciphered alphabetic writing."

The book is truly fantastic, full of animals, inventions, customs, cities, and other aspects of a fantasy world. The idea of an encyclopedia of a wildly different fictional place created in a mad-up language reminds me of the Voynich Manuscript but while that seems to have been a hoax, the Codex Seraphinianus seems to be 'merely' an art piece.

The look is quite similar to the movie "Fantastic Planet" from 973.

A simple puzzle game. Drag and drop pieces of wick to connect the flame at the bottom of the kinara (candle-holder) to the tops of the seven candles. You cannot drop wicks on the nine kinte circles. You win when all seven candles are lit.

This puzzle appeared in an earlier game of mine. I intend to improve the recursion (when checking to see which wicks are "live") and add additional levels at some point.
