This is just a silly time waster that I made for some practice at fiddling with arrays and animation.
Fairly self explanatory - you can load your own PNGs into it - the grid is 240px square, but it will stretch pictures of any size.
Difficulty changes the amount of shuffling when you press 'NEW GAME' (done so that it is always possible to finish!), PEEK lets you see what picture you're aiming for. Just left-click the tile that you want to move into the empty space to play.
Hopefully I can make something a little more useful to post one day using what I learned from making this!!

I made some thing similar to this a while back, different approach and slightly different game play.
Might give you some ideas...
Cheers 😉

Cheers, looks interesting so far. The way you split the bitmap into an array never occurred to me - much neater than my way of doing it 'on-the -fly' within a draw loop. Against the clock too - maybe I should adapt my 'preferences' file saver for storing a leaderboard!

That would be the logical next step 😀 .

He he, and my New Year's resolution was to finish my Looper plugin, and then get on with making some music for a change - oh well, there's always next year! 😉
Just can't keep a geek from his silly games - we just started making little dsPIC prototyping sytems at work, so the first thing we had to do was... LINK

Very cool man,
hope your work intersects with passions

Yup, I'm a very lucky boy to have the job that I have.
I get to indulge my passion for cursing at misbehaving computers! 😉

That's just a meme-virus released by the evil masterminds behind Intel's silicate-DNA nano-pixie breeding program. They're in league with the mischevious cable-sprites who tie our USB/guitar leads in knots when our backs are turned.
And don't even get me started on the abominable hypno-pixels who play tricks with our perception of time whenever we are gazing into our monitors - only yesterday tea-time, I opened SM, blinked, and suddenly it was past midnight and there were was a mysterious web of blue and green lines all over my screen (so like the mythical ley-lines of the druids) - who knows what evil deeds I may have commited while under their spell!
(Hang on, I don't remember having a beard when I started typing this post... Oh no, it's happened again!!!!!!)
