[Announce] Puzzle Master - a jigsaw puzzle game
 

Hi Folks,

I proudly present you with my latest application, called Puzzle Master.
It is a jigsaw puzzle game. It works on the N900 quite nicely. It contains a bunch of built-in images, plus you can open any of your own images too. It is possible to change the puzzle size and the difficulty.

Here's how you play it:

1. Choose a picture:

2. Set the difficulty:

3. Assemble the puzzle:

4. If you're stuck, tap "..." for the menu and click "Get a hint!"

Here is the official web site of the app.

I would be glad if you guys gave it a spin. Let me know of any bugs and new ideas you have!

The game also runs on desktop machines (both Linux and Windows). It's also ported to Windows Phone and Symbian. I do not distribute it for other platforms at the moment, but it takes a click of a button to compile.

• Source code
• Maemo 5 package
• MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan package
• Maemo 4 Puzzle Master
• Puzzle Master in the Fedora repository
• WP7 Puzzle Master

Features:

• There are quite a few nice built-in images, but you can choose any image (including your own photos) for the puzzle.
• After choosing an image, the application slices it up according to your settings, and it mixes up the pieces with a nice animation.
• Your objective is to move the matching pieces next to each other and assemle the whole image.
• When you move two matching pieces together, they snap together and stick together.

For the record, here is an old screenshot of Puzzle Master 1:

Thanks for this!
I've compiled a Qt game like this some time ago, but it was a crap, cause needs to be hildonized.
This looks a lot better

Yessssss ! Great game ! Many thanks ! :)

It works very well, no bugs found.

I love this puzzle type games and i missed a lot SBP puzzle i had in my N97 before switching to maemo.

Just two requests:

- is it possible to add the traditional piece contour of the real puzzle games.

- what is the n900 surprise ? :confused: :D

Re: [Announce] Puzzle Master - a jigsaw puzzle game
 

Awesome! Been waiting for game like this ;-)

Re: [Announce] Puzzle Master - a jigsaw puzzle game
 

Sorry, but I don't know what you mean by this. Could you please elaborate?

Think, think... Accelerometer rings any bells?

Re: [Announce] Puzzle Master - a jigsaw puzzle game
 

Sorry for my poor English but i mean the traditional irregular shape (not rectangular) of the real puzzle pieces.


Well just turned on the accelerometer option. Now i will try to find it. :D

Thanks

Edit:

I think i got it. But that is cheating :o

I've been thinking about it, but haven't found an easy way yet to implement it. Maybe later.

The surprise is that pieces drift as you tilt the phone.

Re: [Announce] Puzzle Master - a jigsaw puzzle game
 

The puzzle is not considered finished if the pieces just "drift" to the right place. You have to assemble them with your fingers!
