How To Play
--------------
Click the puzzle to get a menu. The owner will see an extended menu to change aspect ratio (1:1 or 4:3), frame color (11 wood colors), or brightness (on or off). Click the "New Game" button to select a picture and a difficulty level. The picture will be randomized, and 1 tile will be missing. Move the tiles by clicking them as indicated by the arrows. When the puzzle is solved your name will be added to the hall of fame.
Adding/Using your own pictures
--------------------------------------
The puzzle comes with 12 build-in pictures. You can replace these by your own pictures. Right-click the puzzle and select "edit", and then select the "Content" tab. You will see a list of images and a "Main" script. Right-click an image you don't want and "delete" it. Do not delete the "Main" script! Then drag images from your inventory into the "Content". The puzzle will see and use the pictures automatically, no need for notecards.
It is best for all pictures to have the same aspect-ratio, either square (1x1) or rectangular (4x3). If not then some pictures will look stretched or squashed. The owner menu of the puzzle has a setting where you can select between these two aspect-ratio's. Sadly enough it is impossible for scripts in Second Life to detect the aspect-ratio of pictures automatically.
The puzzle let's players choose from the first 12 pictures in it's "Contents", alphabetically sorted. You can add more pictures, but they cannot be used for playing. They will be used for the slide show, though.
Notes:
- The slide show will start when not in use for 5 minutes. Click anywhere to continue the game.
- The puzzle has a single, very low-lag script.
- The puzzle is 100% mesh. It will use 4 prims from 0.4x0.5 meters up to about 20x26 meters in size. Bigger than that will use more prims.
