The state of play.

Follow the history of Javasaw through the ages. Note: If the date is in the future just remember Australia is ahead of the rest! See the time in Melbourne.

  • 18th Aug 1998 - New applet version that has rotatable pieces. Also uses different feedback mechanism for the hall of fame.

The Source.

If I'm lazy the source may be out of date with the current applet version! Use and enjoy.

The Javasaw source code (84k).
A Zip file of the same (18k).

Some tips will be posted here (coming soon of course).

Useful Stuff
GIF Wizard Shrinks your GIF files. A must if you publish on the Web. Highly recommended.
Java What Javasaw is written in (not the home of millions, nor coffee).
Multi-Edit Programmer's editor. I use this to write my HTML, not WYSIWYG but does syntax highlighting.
   
Where I am, what I do
Australia All the links to every Australian topic you never knew existed (Warning, it's big and if you are outside Oz you will see how slow our trans-Pacific data link is.).
Melbourne A nice (OK, possibly boring) place to live.
Quest Software Who I work for.
Geelong FC My team in the best football code in the world. Carn the Cats (work that out if you can).

A better one A more worthy 'opponent', and another Aussie too!
Squishy stuff David Elliott's Land of the Squishy, source of some of the images used here. Highly recommended.

The future.

I'm going to remove the solution grid and allow pieces to connect to each other how a jigsaw should work.

Might consider 'proper' shaped pieces but this is a lot of work and makes the applet bigger.

Now that Javasaw is a featured site at GeoCities I have more disk space so I intend to create a page for kids with kiddie type images. Now if Disney would only let me use their images Javasaw could really become popular! Oh well I'll just have to find something else.


My place in the world.

Where my city is located. It's really down under.

My home viewed from space. That's a sports ground on the right containing two ovals with cricket pitches in the middle.


Feedback.

I'd love to hear from you. I'd like to know how this applet was received, did it load correctly, did you finish the puzzle, would you like some new images to solve?

And if anyone has some images I could use I'd only be too happy to use them. They have to have a lot of detail with sufficient variation to allow pieces to be distinguished and be suitable for family viewing. Also a landscape format is preferable (you know wider than they are higher).

If you are expecting a reply check the time in Melbourne to see if I'm awake.
