PicturePuzzle

PicturePuzzle is a jigsaw puzzle game where the puzzles are made out of photographs from National Geographic. There are ten puzzles in total and the number of pieces these should be cut down into can be chosen before starting out. There are ten different options, with the lowest being nine and the highest 252. The game is window based and is controlled entirely with the mouse which is used to move the pieces around and rotate them. Three different views can be turned on: piece box, table top and box top. There are also various shortcut options that can be used to make the game easier. These include turning the right side and sorting the pieces by colour or shape. After completing a puzzle the player can get a high score based on the time it has taken. Using shortcuts leads to a time penalty getting added.
