FTPUZZLE - Fractal Puzzles
Version 1.0
(c) Bourbaki, Inc. 1993
(208)342-5849
OVERVIEW
========
The FTPUZZLE program enables you to create "grid" style puzzles from any of
the FracTools fractal format (.FF0) files included on the CD. It will also
enable you to "puzzle-ize" any PCX, GIF or BMP file.
RUNNING FTPUZZLE
=================
To run FTPUZZLE:
* Change into the \FTPUZZLE directory on the FracTools CD
* Type FTPUZZLE - and press <Enter>
When the dialog box is displayed:
* Specify the Video Mode (640x480 / 256 color default)
* Specify the grid size / number of "pieces" in the puzzle
Then...
* Click on Run
* Change directories... and select an image file
This will display the selected image all mixed up, with several buttons on the
bottom of the screen. These include:
* View - Use to view the image in its original form (hints)
* Auto - Use to make the puzzle reassemble itself, automatically
* Exit - Use to return to the Main FTPUZZLE dialog box
When you select View, the image will be displayed in its original form. To
return to the Puzzle-ized form:
* Click the Right mouse button, or press <Esc>
ASSEMBLING the PUZZLE
=====================
To assemble the puzzle, recreating the image in its original form:
* Click and hold the Left mouse button on a "piece"
* Drag the "piece" to a new location
* Release the button
This will EXCHANGE the positions of the two pieces. Continue this process
until the image "looks right."
When, and if, you assemble the puzzle properly, the colors will strobe through
the image.
