Summary
Jigsaw Puzzle is based on the classic picture-constructing game, but has the option to add your own pictures. It strengthens visual, spacial and problem solving skills and offers a context to creatively reflect on and explore any subject.
This is a WorldWideWorkshop project - see the WorldWideWorkshop wiki page.
Beta 1.2: v1.0 has a full screen interface with one-person gameplay and lesson plans.
Functionality:
- Based on MaMaMedia.com and MyGLife.org “Jigsaw” activities
- Re-written in Python to run locally on the XO laptop
- Full game logic and interface integrated within the OLPC framework
- Puzzle-solving functionality includes Picture Selector, Timer, Change Shapes, Board Hint, Solve and 3 difficulty levels
- Board size is set to take 60% of available space on at least one side (the largest one relative to the available space) and keeps the image aspect ratio.
- The larger side will have the number of pieces set to that of the level being played, but the other side may have less pieces. An attempt is always made to make the pieces almost square, so an image with a 4:3 aspect ratio on the highest level will get 8x6 pieces.
- The way pieces are cut is not fixed, so new connector types can be implemented.
- Set of customized Lesson Plans accessible in-app via "Lesson Plans" button
