Re: [pygame] Re: manually cutting a picture

["Joseph king" <king.a.joe@xxxxxxxxx>]

what i want to do is make it so that the user playing the game can decide how the pices are cut size shape and other things like that. i can't seem to get it to where the user can use his mouse per say or have pre shaped cut out templates to chose from to make what he wants a puzzle piece.
thanks for all your help so far.

rectangular pieces good enough?  I'm not sure how to do non-rectangular
pieces although it's an interesting puzzle :)  I think you'd need to use
the surfarray module.
