Jig-saw puzzles, or "reconstruct the torn-up letter"

[Thaurin]

Hi there, I've just started looking into this endlessly fun toolkit.

I was wondering if the following is easily done with AGS or whether it requires intensive scripting. Scripting is not a problem for me, even though I'm gonna have to start learning it soon.

I'm recently playing the Tex Murphy games again and I was wondering about the puzzles you see in that game (and others like it) where you have to move around and rotate pieces of a puzzle (a torn-up letter, a cut-up credit card, etc.) and put it back together in its original state. I've never seen this in an AGS game, but I figure it wouldn't be very hard. Can it be done with standard AGS, is there some plugin for it already, or will I have to make this myself with scripting? Can't really imagine that nobody's ever tried this great adventure game device before in AGS.

(And yes, a Tex Murphy game may be in the making.)

Drag & Drop code thread

So yeah, it's already been done. Since that code is three years old, it'll need a little updating but nothing too major (just changing the Object commands to OO-style). Plus, I'm sure it's been dealt with a few other times - try searching for 'drag and drop' or something, instead of 'jigsaw'

Ah! A great starting point. I should have searched better. I'm probably going to have to enhance this if it doesn't have nifty little things like grid-snapping, rotation, etc. But definitely encouraging that there's something around already. Can't wait to jump into scripting.

Thaurin,

I did something like this some time ago and also included rotation which Ashen was kind enough to help with. I checked the link and the file is still there if you want to take a look at it.

Aww, is there anything left that doesn't already exist? You guys won't make it impossible for me to make something original now, will ya?

I'll check it out!
