Jigsaw Puzzle Site

Soft launching a new Jigsaw Puzzle site, Just Jigsaw Puzzles, today. It is the latest incarnation of our Jigsaw puzzle games. We were the first on the Web site jigsaws, I believe. I think it was about 1997 or so. In 1999 we went daily, purchasing licensed photos. Haven’t done much with it for years, but I’ve decided to update it and give it its own site. I think it got lost in all the content at our main site.

The game itself is Shockwave, but now a PHP/MySQL program drives the daily updates and database of images. I’ve updated the Shockwave part to use some nicer graphic effect, which were not possible when the original game was done in 1997.

    Interguing site. The “look” button is not very reliable on Safari, though. (v1.2.1) Would often only provide a brief flash of the picture. Something up with the mouse up or mouse down call?

    To use the Look button, hold it down. The image appears as long as you continue to hold. It says as much in the instructions. Thanks.
