Shuffle Puzzle

[Artimes]

For the past few days I've been trying to figure out a effective shuffling algorithm. Once I did that, the rest only took an hour or so.

To play, type the name of the folder in which the puzzle you want to play is in (Example: "teddy"). Currently I only have one puzzle.

To make your own puzzle;
- Obtain an image
- Scale it to 300x300 pixels
- Using photo-editing software (Example: Adobe Photoshop), divide it image into a 4x4 grid (25% or 75 pixels)
- Make the top left square blank (It'll be the empty space)
- Starting from the top left, and moving across the rows, export sixteen images (75x75 pixels each), named 1...16.jpg (open teddy puzzle for an example).
- Scale the full photo to 100x100, and save it as 17.jpg
- Place all seventeen photos into a folder within the main folder, and name it as you wish.
- Load the program, type the name of your folder in, and you're off!

Eventually I will make it so you each folder will also have a text file containing information about the puzzle. For example, in the text file you will state the size of your individual images, the number of row/column, and the size of the finished puzzle image which is situated off to the right. The program will take that info, and re-adjust the screen size/calculations accordingly. I will also add small and minor GUI improvements, such as when you complete the puzzle, the completed image of the puzzle will appear without the empty space, and the grid will disappear.

NOTE: The attached file contains both executable file (.exe), and turing file (.t).

"An error has occured in the program: line 87, array subscript out of range."

Other than getting that error half-way through playing it, nice job man A bit complicated to make a piccy, consider making a program that will auto-do that for you.

code:

if (grid (x + i, y) = 1) then

Theres line 87. Hope that helps [/code]

Good game, just add a "save" feature for the position, and support for larger puzzles.
