I started this project on November 27, 2010; took a bit of a break around 2013 through 2016 and have been doing a lot of changes since May of 2016. The project is now open source under the GNU Affero General Public License . The source code is available at github.com/jkenlooper/puzzle-massive/. Previous git commit history is linked from this commit comment with a link to the old archived project.

I mainly work on this as a side project I do for fun. It has been a great help to me in order to learn more about web development. The Puzzle Massive project is open to others to contribute improvements to.
