Jigsaw-Builder

Build a jigsaw from an image! 🔨

View the documentation at https://calum.github.io/jigsaw-builder.

If you need any help with getting your jigsaw built, you can either put an issue on the GitHub page or email calumforster@live.co.uk. I will be happy to help!

Install

npm install --save jigsaw-builder

Example Usage

var jigsaw = require("jigsaw-builder")

var options = {
  input: "./assets/penguin.png",
  output: "./assets/jigsaw/",
  rows: 8,
  columns: 8
}

/**
* Build a 64 piece (8 by 8) puzzle from penguin.png and output
* the pieces to ./assets/jigsaw/.
**/
jigsaw.build(options, function (err, properties) {
  if (err) {
    return console.error(err)
  }
  // The properties json object is also written to
  // ./assets/jigsaw/properties.json
  console.log(properties)
  console.log("done!")
})

Try the example html jigsaw

In this 5 minute tutorial you will create a 64 piece jigsaw and then see the jigsaw loaded into a canvas element in your browser.

# clone the jigsaw-builder
$ git clone https://github.com/calum/jigsaw-builder.git
$ cd jigsaw-builder/

# install dependencies
$ npm install

# enter the examples folder
$ cd examples/

# run the test ($ node test.js $input $rows $columns)
$ node test.js example.png 8 8

This will create an (8 by 8) jigsaw from the example.png image (you can use your own image if you want).

You should see this in your jigsaw/ directory:

Open the index.html file in your browser to see how it all fits together! You might need to refresh the page to get the jigsaw to show.

You can now use these pieces on your website or app. Have fun!
