Jigsaw puzzle pieces

Audio and Graphics
#1

Hi all,

I am developing jigsaw puzzle game and have trouble with creating puzzle pieces in game.

I have tried creating them with masks, but that doesn’t work as it should.

Reason is that i want to crop masked images so it doesn’t have transparent area around.

Any suggestions on how i could manage to create them in game?  :huh:

Hi Jim, 

Thanks for your response but unfortunately that doesn’t solve my issue.

I have no problem with developing puzzle mechanism,

what I want is to create puzzle pieces in game, not in photoshop.

Basically what i want to know is there any other option to create them besides with masks? 

If not, is it possible to somehow crop masked images to remove transparent area?  :slight_smile:

hi, I have the same problem. do you have found some solution  in the meantime?

Nope,

I ended up using masks.

Check out this Photoshop plugin - might be what you’re looking for: http://www.avbros.com/puzzlepro/

I used that plugin for 2 of my jigsaw puzzle apps, it creates realistic puzzle pieces, if you try to do it in code and masks your pieces tend to not look realistic
