We are pleased to announce the release of Jigsaw!, our featured game for October.

This is a simple jigsaw puzzle game from the player’s perspective, but there is a bit of fancy tapdancing going on behind the scenes. i mentioned in an earlier post the security issue that was hampering the Custom puzzle feature. It’s all solved (thanks, John!). Now, players can load any online image into the app, and it will be dynamically carved into a jigsaw puzzle.

This flexibility makes Jigsaw! a very attractive option if you are looking to license content for your website. The gallery of images is entirely dynamic. You or your content co-ordinator just has to drop an image into a special folder on your web server, and it will appear in the Jigsaw! gallery.

This allows you to easily add and announce new content on your site with very little time and effort involved. You can also change up the images so that your theme changes monthly (or weekly). For example, you could drop spooky pictures into the folder to give your visitors a Hallowe’en-themed experience.

You can play Jigsaw! here. Enjoy!
