Jigsaw Puzzle 1.0 RC1

A simple Jigsaw Puzzle game.

How does it work?

  • Start the game with "python run_game.py"
  • Select a motive.
  • To scroll through the pieces to the right, use mousewheel, up/down key or pageup/pagedown. Or simply use the scroll bar.
  • Use mouse to drag pieces.
  • If a piece is dropped close enough to it's original position it will snap in place.
  • If a piece is dropped close to a neighbor piece it will snap to that piece building a piece group.
  • Right-click on a group to break it up.

New since 0.1

OK, that was fun - I've never debugged any Python code before. What I found was, this game depends on PyGame 1.8. I had 1.7.1 installed (Ubuntu Gutsy default) so it wouldn't run. I compiled PyGame 1.8 and the game worked. :-)

Answer:

Aha! Well done!

Oops, forgot to mention: I'm running Ubuntu, if it matters.

How can I fix an "Error: No motives found" problem? I have a motives folder with plenty of images in it...just extracted the source file like normal and it won't run. Looks like a fun game though.
