Puzzle: Shattered Image 1.5

This bundle is marked as high quality. It exceeds standards and is highly desirable.
A variation of an widely know game. An Image is shattered into fragments. The fragments in the right order would display the image.
You swap 2 fragments of the shattered image until the image is restored. Can be played in multiplayer to compete in speed and steps used. Offers quite simple Puzzles in which the image is splited into 9 parts upto an puzzle with 400 parts.

Puzzle: Shattered Image 1.5 (Map)

but it took out the game Warcraft to it,,
It did indeed took out the most important display for warcraft 3 maps the world the place the units /trees and effects are shown.

and how is that possible to make this one.?..its kinda amaze me on how people are thinking out of the box...
That map uses new features provided with 1.31: manipulate the UI of Warcraft 3 and also one can create new custom defined UI elements so called Frames. But that Puzzle uses a subType of Frames SIMPLEBUTTONs which have the ability to only display a fraction of an given image quite handy for such a gameType. Each Button was given such a fraction of a Image inform of Texture also a Frame, that Texture knows to which Button it should belong and where it is. If all Textures are at there right place the puzzle is complete.

This feature is not revealed to GUI, hence one requires to use (v)Jass or Lua to perform that UI-Frame stuff, for now (who knows how blizzard might change Trigger Editor and port yet not revealed jass/Lua only features to GUI).

Woah this game is incredibly cool. This is one of the more original games i've seen in a very long time. I really like how you give the number of moves and the time taken as a stat. This map is an incredibly showcase of what one can do with the new UI manipulation. I played this with with 5 other friends and we all had a blast.

I have some minor suggestions.
First I think it would be nice if the host could end the puzzles, without everyone voting. Sometimes as we waited on a player to finish, it was annoying to get everyone to click "end puzzle".
Second, the lines that separate the puzzle might be a little too wide when there are many puzzle pieces. It would cut off part of the picture.
Third, I wish there was some way to prevent getting the same picture over and over.


Overall, this is a wonderful game and I give it 5/5

It's exactly what it's supposed to be and impressive that you can stretch the images. However, it needs high resolution pictures because stretching the current images too much will make them pixelated and thus it will be hard to decipher the parts to properly position them.

Approved.
