Maybe just pressing the arrow keys could highlight a piece which you could then select with the center key? (Return on the N800, KP_Enter on the N810 and N900 [or vice versa, I can't remember :)])

Anyway, my question was to see if you had already implemented such a feature. Please don't bother on my account - the real solution would be for me to source a replacement N800 touchscreen from somewhere...

Thanks for the great program and for taking the time to backport it. :) Maybe I'll be able to run this program on my Windows desktop using Qt's cross-platform abilities

Not yet.

I was thinking about a possibility for this anyway.

It is not as exciting to play it on a desktop computer as on a touchscreen device, but you can of course get the source here. Compiling and running takes one click with Qt Creator, and it should work on Windows.

Thanks for fixing the timer, and i like the new icons and the option to pause the game.

But the drop shadow effect is a little slower than before.


Thanks for this great game.

I'm happy you like them. :)

Nothing has changed about the effect. You can turn it off if you experience slowness. This is mostly due to the N900 graphics chip performing very poorly with alpha blending. (And will usually occour when you have bigger puzzles.)

You are welcome! I'm glad you like it.

I always play in fullscreen.

Well i turn the drop shadow effect off and now is so much better, thanks.

See this site's 24 february 2010 entry - there is a table which compares OpenGL ES hardware rendering with software rendering. As it turns out, there are things for which the N900's hardware is actually slower than software. On that site, look for "Image Data ARGB", "Image Blend", etc. Seems that alpha blending (what the drop shadow effect is all about) is rather slow on it.

Why OpenGL-ES2.0 is slower than the software in this case?

No idea.
Maybe a design shortcoming or defect in the graphics chip?

The real solution should be discussed in the main Puzzle Master thread (found in my signature), because many people have mentioned this problem. (So it's not Diablo-specific.)

If you have an idea about this, you are more than welcome to elaborate in that thread. :)
Actually you can make a real puzzle branch pieces on the sides (just to make it looks not so square) and if you want to merge two pieces in one you should place it near each other and press pop up merge button.
