| Chapter 5: Jigsaw Puzzle
The idea of computer jigsaw puzzles seemed ridiculous at first. I had made my first jigsaw puzzle program as more of a programming exercise, than a realistic game. I thought, who would want to play a jigsaw puzzle on a computer, when the real thing worked so well? Well, it was a good thing that I took a chance on that first jigsaw puzzle game. The Jigsaw puzzle is now one of the most popular of games at my site. People like the fact that they don't take up an entire table and they can't lose the pieces. They play them as they would play a solitaire game. Jigsaws are a simple distraction that some players even use as meditation and for stress-relief. | |
