RE: [Flashcoders] puzzle: how to verify piece-fitting?
I suspect you could use bitmap data to achieve something along these lines - if each piece has a special pixel - you can use that pixel to check against a master bitmap to see if it's in the right place, combined with snapping it should make it quite easy. - if you know it's in the right place and one of it's neighbours has also been placed then you can make this a 'combined piece'. Something along those lines anyhow.

Re: [Flashcoders] puzzle: how to verify piece-fitting?
hi all. i'm looking for some example on puzzle games which detect (show the user) that the pieces are arranged correct. those i know are simple drag and drop together ones with do not detect that the pieces are arranged correct and fit. any examples or ideas on how to detect that (when having different puzzle piece forms)? thanks: lars There are various levels of this. One (generally for the simplest puzzles for small children) locks the pieces to their exact space on the board. That's pretty easy to do: assuming you know where each piece belongs, when the mouse is released you simply calculate its distance from the target position and lock if it's below a certain threshold. The next level is where you link pieces to each other rather than to the board. Actually, this isn't much harder to do: you store the pieces' correct x and y positions, then when a piece is dropped, you look for the relative positions of its neighbours, and check how close they are to correct (eg: you know that the right-neighbour must be at a relative position of (w,0), so if it's currently at (w+1,2) you decide that's close enough and lock it in place. The next level, for an irregular grid, is to store for each piece a list of the neighbours it can link to, and continue as the previous example. Finally, you can allow rotation of pieces. This is exactly the same as before, but you also have to check that the pieces are at the correct relative orientation (in particular, it affects the calculation of the 'relative position' of the neighbour pieces. Clear? I can give you some code, but an explanation is generally more useful...

RE: [Flashcoders] puzzle: how to verify piece-fitting?
I can't off the top of my head think of any visual ways of doing it, but you can check the relationship of the pieces to each other. For instance if piece A can only fit to the left of B and the bottom of C (it's the lower left hand corner) then you could check those two distance relationships and the rotation of each. You'd have to store all of the right relationships somewhere, such as in the piece instances. Is this the kind of solution you're looking for?
