Custom puzzle measurement

For now, I’m utilizing an open-source jigsaw puzzle generator which outputs puzzle items in strict rows and columns.

When I began out, I hard-coded the puzzles to be 6 items by 5 items, as a result of I used to be utilizing placeholder photographs that had been landscape-oriented, and I needed to reward myself with new photographs after roughly 30 wholesome actions. But in my household, 1000-piece puzzles had been all the time our favourite, so I knew if I used to be going to launch this for puzzle fanatics, puzzle measurement would have to be customizable, and likewise versatile in accordance with the puzzle picture’s facet ratio. Now I’ve carried out that utilizing some foolish math that appears to work nicely sufficient.

The thought is that an “splendid” puzzle has a sq. variety of items, beginning at 5×5 = 25. I warp these “splendid dimensions” in accordance with the picture’s facet ratio:

width = 5
peak = 5

width *= (picture.width / picture.peak)
peak *= (picture.peak / picture.width)

width = ceil(width)
peak = ceil(peak)

This offers plenty of rows and columns that goals near 25, however stretches so there are extra items alongside the puzzle’s longer aspect. Currently I let the participant select each different sq. quantity as much as 961 for his or her “splendid” measurement, so in principle you possibly can generate a 1000 piece puzzle. Of course, I do not need to must do 1000 wholesome issues to unravel an entire puzzle, so I additionally enable a configurable variety of items to be unlocked per “level” earned. I did not need to let gamers select 25 pieces-per-point with a ~25-piece puzzle, so I restrict the best alternative in accordance with the chosen measurement.

1000-piece stress take a look at

So I lastly determined to strive 1000 items at a price of 32 per level, anticipating the sport to decelerate or crash. It’s truly operating decently?! But I haven’t got all 1000 items unlocked but, as a result of I do not need to cheat only for testing functions.

Zooming in shut sufficient to see piece shapes clearly does make the pixels within the photographs too large, although.

And I believe with 1000 items, the puzzles will probably be extra distracting than motivating. Maybe I’ll set the restrict decrease, however for now I simply need the code to be in place for arbitrary sizes.

Any web site solutions the place I can add gifs with out downscaling?
