"Ancient Greek Geometry"--interactive puzzle

Main post link -> http://sciencevsmagic.net/geo/

I found this fun interactive Javascript game/puzzle that teaches concepts related to straightedge and compass constructions, and I thought I'd share it here. It's deceptively simple, and quite challenging. The best part about it is that because your constructions are encoded as an HTML link, you can share your solutions with others simply by copying the web address. Can you construct a regular pentagon in 15 moves or less? And can you construct other regular polygons that are not shown in the challenges, like the 15-gon and 17-gon?
