The jigsaw
puzzle will start with the picture broken up into pieces. If the mouse is
moved over a piece, a highlight should be seen. It is then possible to
move the piece by pressing the left mouse button and holding it down
whilst "dragging" the selected piece.
The selected piece can be rotated by clicking the right mouse button (Note
that this is not a true rotation, but a flip and mirror sequence 1,2,3,4)
Pieces that are NOT placed fully inside the picture building area can be
shuffled around by clicking on the "Tidy" button. This
makes it easier to "Sort" through playing pieces that are not
placed inside the building area.
The "Breakup" button does exactly that and breaks up the
puzzle.
The "Solve" button can be used to solve the puzzle.
When the puzzle is correctly solved, a message will appear on the top
line. If this does not appear and the puzzle "seems" to be
solved, it is usually because a piece is in the wrong place or is rotated
into the wrong position.
It is possible to "lose" pieces under other jigsaw pieces (just
like real life eh?). If this happens you should move the visible pieces
one at a time to try and find the lost piece.
Each time the jigsaw applet is started (not when you use the breakup
button) the jigsaw will be cut up randomly. This means that the pieces may
be cut differently each time. |
