Dinosaur Puzzles is a jigsaw puzzle game. When
you click new you choose a puzzle and the number of pieces (2-100
in the shareware version or 2-2,000 in the registered version)
then it shows you the picture and then mixes up the pieces. The
pieces are square. You then try to put the pieces in the correct
place using the mouse. You left click on a piece to select it
then you move to where you think it goes and right click. If you
place a piece in the right place you will get a sound. Once a
piece is in the correct place you can't accidentally move it and
it makes a sound when you click on it. The sounds can be edited
by changing the name of the sound you want to use to the name of
the sound you want to replace. Directions for changing sound
files are given in help.
There is a Hall of Fame for your high scores. You can also save
the puzzle in progress to work on it at a later time. Scores are
based on the number of moves you made, and the number of pieces
involved. You lose points for looking at the image and automatic
placement. You can use the toolbar to Display/Hide Help,
Display/Hide Grid, Show only the pieces that remain to be placed,
Show only correctly placed pieces, Move the correct piece to the
location you have selected, Move the piece you have selected to
the correct location, and Hide the toolbar. Hitting Escape will
exit the game after giving you the option to save the puzzle you
are currently working on.
The shareware version has a 30 day evaluation period. Registering
the program will give you more dinosaur pictures (the shareware
version only has 2). It also includes a program that will let you
change windows bmp files to puzzle files and gives you a discount
on additional puzzles and Cascoly puzzle programs. You can
register via a secure server online, email, telephone, or snail
mail. You can get all 5 Puzzle sets (Dinosaur, Space, Civil War,
Egypt, and Geography on CD for $29.95.
