Jigsaw 2 for Windows
Version 2.14
(Updated 10/9/95)
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
-------------------
Jigsaw 2 for Windows is a jigsaw puzzle simulation. You solve the puzzle by
dragging and rotating the puzzle pieces with a mouse. The puzzle pieces
have the traditional interlocking shapes, and the pieces lock together when
properly arranged. A color picture is formed when the puzzle is fully
assembled.
The computer takes care of the mundane tasks, like finding all the edge
pieces and sorting pieces by color. You can save your work in progress and
return to it later, so this jigsaw puzzle won't tie up your kitchen table.
And unlike traditional jigsaw puzzles, there's never a missing piece!
Several jigsaw puzzles are included, and you can make new puzzles from
bitmap files (.BMP or .GIF), so your favorite images can be made into jigsaw
puzzles. (The puzzle generation feature is only available to registered
owners of Jigsaw 2).
