Jigsaw puzzle pictures wanted

Post by Hated Moron »

I hope to publish the BBC BASIC Jigsaw Puzzle program (examples/games/jigsaw.bbc) at itch.io and naturally I would like to include some more puzzle pictures in addition to the one which comes with BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0.

I expect I've got plenty of suitable pictures of my own, but I thought it would be more interesting to ask other users to submit pictures for possible inclusion. The main criteria are, of course, that the picture be high-quality, have been taken by you (so you own all the rights) and not include anything that you are not free to photograph and publish (e.g. that may invade somebody's privacy or breach commercial confidentiality).

It would also be better to avoid pictures that would make the puzzle too hard to solve, for example that would result in pieces that are too similar. So large areas of sky or sea are probably not a good idea!

If you have a picture that you think would be ideal as a jigsaw puzzle, upload it somewhere in full-resolution and send or post a link, or attach it to an email.

I'm still very much on the lookout for pictures (I didn't find any suitable ones in my own collection, too much sky in many of them for a start). Landscape orientation would be better than portrait, unless it can be cropped to a more suitable shape.

The links to the full-size images don't work ("Full-size images are not stored online, only thumbnails and snapshots."). So if I wanted one of them (say the last one) is it just a case of asking you?

Last chance. If you would like any of your pictures to be used (particularly https://pics.mdfs.net/2015/07/150714.htm) I will need the full-size version.

Full-size images uploaded. Some could do with rotating a couple of degrees to get the horizon horizontal.

Odd, but I didn't get the previous messages via the email repeater, and I haven't been dipping into the forum very much as I've been in bed with a stubborn cold, and trying to revise for an exam. :roll:
