Picture puzzle game (Demo / Beta)
Picture puzzle game (Demo / Beta)
Hello everyone
Well i am nearing completion of my first full project using irrlicht and thought i would share a little demo. The game is a fairly simple puzzle game that requires you to rebuild a picture by rotating the cubes on the screen.
The idea behind the game was to create a simple, easy to play puzzle game that could easily be expanded by the players by adding there own pictures (You will even be able to remove the supplied images and have jyour own personalised 'puzzle photo album' ).
I think its something you could easily play during that boring office lunch break
The demo is locked to just one image file.
You can grab the demo here: http://www.wolfpacksoftware.com/CubePuzzle.zip
The controls are all done using the mouse. Simply select 'Begin game' then click and drag on the cube you want to rotate. Drag the mouse in the direction you want to rotate in. Once you have completed the game the timer will stop and you won't be able to select any more cubes.
I know the border graphics are a little rubbish and the timer really needs to be made bigger but as i say this is only a beta version.
There is also a known issue when clicking towards the side of a cube and dragging which can cause the cube beside it to be rotated. This can be avoided by clicking in the centre of the cube and i will fix it before release
So let me know what everyone thinks and enjoy

So we can assume you're planning to make this commercial?lonewolf wrote:The demo is locked to just one image file.
or by "locked demo" are you simply referring to the alpha/beta stage?
if commercial is your plan I'd just like to mention that the windows vista side bar has a puzzle game very simular to this.
of course there is a way to market anything... such as mini game bundles for $5-$10 with 10-infinite amount of minigames like this might sell exceptionally well.
I'm hoping you're not considering this for a commercial title however the world is saturated with minigames and especially puzzle games like this one.
but it is something I haven't seen in irrlicht until now good job.
Hi, I have not decided what to do yet which is why i locked it. I was planning on making 2 or three more games with the same rotating cube design and selling them cheap from my website or something. I was also thinking of turning the game into a screen saver that solves itself over time. That might be quite interesting.
I was not aware of vista having a similar game so thanks for letting me know. Will have to consider my options and if all else fails i will probably release it for free.
It has definatly helped me learn some features of irrlicht which has been fun so once i recover from my recent hard disk crash (ouch ) i will have to see what i can do.
Thanks for the feedback everyone and i will look into speeding up the movement of the cubes too
