Today we have a "do-it-yourself" REALbasic project for you to download. No fancy tutorial; no detailed instructions; just pure, raw code. It's a fun game to play too!
Intro and Download
Today's project is fairly lengthy, so it didn't make much sense to run through the endless lines of code. Sometimes its easier to just download the project and look at the code yourself. There is nothing in the Mixer Tile Mixer project that hasn't been covered on ResExcellence before, so if you are really in need of explanations, search though some of the older projects.
The idea behind today's project is to build a simple game like you may have encountered as a child. The game emulates those little plastic tile sliding games. In the game you manipulate a grid of squares that contain a picture, until you recreate the picture. This version is better, though, since it lets you load in any picture and also keeps track of your moves for you. And, like an expert gamer, it will also show you the solution to the puzzle if you decide to give up. Download the REALbasic Tile Mixer project here or if you're just in it for the games, download the game only [Classic Mac OS or Mac OS X]. Have fun and see you next week!
