As far as we know
there is only one bug in our picture puzzle. That is what I've named the "Hurry
Bug". The Hurry Bug is caused by trying to work the puzzle too fast.
When you set a piece in its proper
position it will "flash" at you 3 times to tell you it is correct. When
the flashing stops the piece is set and cannot be moved again. The bug rears it's
head when you try to place another piece before the previous one has set. This will cause
the puzzle to lock up and flash at you continuously until you close the window or refresh
the page. Either way you will have to start over. We think it better to just take your
time and let each piece settle before attempting the next.
| The entire puzzle
can be dragged around the screen by grabbing the image. This feature can be turned off
with the labeled toggle button. Break the puzzle into as many pieces as you want (from
4 to 81). But be sure, it's not as easy as it looks. Break it again. Move the pieces
into position to solve it. Stuck? Use the Hint button. Fed up? Let the puzzle solve itself
with the Solve button. Load a new puzzle image and play with that one for a while. The
images have not been pre-loaded, so you will have to wait for a download when you switch
images. At any stage, an optional grid can be turned on and off to assist in piece
placement. |

If the
puzzle has a low piece count, the grid may slow the puzzle down on IE4. In NN4, after a
puzzle drag or a new image load, the form buttons may not display properly. Scroll the
puzzle off the screen and back on to fix, or in WIN95, select View-Refresh
