- Playing Jigsaw 1.0.
- -------------------
-
- Upon running the program an introduction screen will appear.
- After about 20 secs of introduction you'll be able to start
- playing by clicking one of the mouse buttons. The original
- Amos.Iff picture will replace the introduction screen and the
- music will stop.
-
-
- Using the Menus.
- ----------------
-
- The game is menu driven. Two menus are available, "About" menu
- and "Options" menu. The "about" menu just come to supply some
- unimportant information such as an historic review of the
- creation of towels and why we call ourselves Barbarian mind.
-
- The more important menu is the "Options" menu.
-
- a) Choose iff picture: This allows you to select an Iff picture
- to jigsaw. The program can handle only 320x200 non-interlaced
- pictures. Any other picture will load onto the screen but you
- will not be able to play it.
-
- b) Number of pieces: You may choose to play a 15,24,60 or 240
- piece jigsaw. In my opinion, 240 pieces are impossible to solve :)
- I wanna hear from people who've made it...
-
- c) Play: After selecting the desired Iff picture and the number
- of pieces choose this option to start playing. This option
- will scramble the picture up.
-
- d) Quit: Nothing to add....
-
-
- Playing the Game
- ----------------
-
- After you choose the "play" option, the screen will Scramble.
- A 240 pieces jigsaw takes about 6 seconds to be created.
- Playing the game is very simple. Place the mouse pointer on one
- square and press the left button of the mouse. Then, select
- another piece and those pieces will swap. Using this procedure
- you have to rebuild the picture. Upon success, a congratulation
- message will appear and you'll be able to start over again.

-
- Good pictures and Bad Pictures...
- ---------------------------------
-
- A good jigsaw is a one which doesn't contain two similar
- pieces. Some pictures have "Dead Zones.", big areas which
- contain the same pattern or color. When making a jigsaw puzzle
- out of those, at least two pieces will look the same. Amos.iff
- is a "Bad picture", since it got large areas with the same
- pattern. The disk contains two other picture's which are "Good
- pictures."
