Just BASIC Files Archive

Yeah, this is my first complete just basic program. It's one of those puzzles where you move the squares around and when it's finished it forms a picture. Have fun or whatever it is you do. If you have any suggestions for how to make the program better that would be cool. Oh, I have a newer version that can be downloaded farther down the page now. I basically fixed a few bugs.

I might add some more stuff to this program. I'm going to have to figure out how to make it into a stand alone program. If anyone has problems getting this to work it's probably because the bitmaps are in the wrong location. They should go under the bmp section under just basic.

you should have them in BMP\ folder with you program in the archive, like this:

Thanks, i'll get on that since I'm not doing much right now.

I changed the locations of the bitmaps like you(tsh73) said. Now, clicking up there will download it so it will be workable without having to move the files around.

To anyone downloading this. Make sure you unzip the program before running it. It wont work if it's still zipped.

Nice program, Rob! Plays well and could be quite addictive. Janet

Thanks. Here is a newer version. This is here because I had to fix a few things. An observant friend pointed out that the puzzle only starts out solvable half the time so I had to fix that. I also figured out myself during the process of fixing that that there was another problem. When the blank square is all the way to the right then if you click on the square in the row below it and all the way to the left then they'll switch as if they were next to eachother. Same thing happens if the blank square is all the way to the left and you click on the square in the row above it and all the way to the right. I fixed this as well. The newer, more fixed version can be downloaded here if anyone feels like it. Oh, I just worked on the program some more. Now, it tells you how many moves it took for you to beat the puzzle and it asks if you're sure you want to restart the program when you click the button. The randomness is also improved.

In case no one notices that I changed it I replaced puzzlever2 with puzzlever3. It's the same, it just has a few improvements. I was thinking it might be hard to notice that I added some more text and changed the file.
