Re: [pygame] puzzle piece problem.

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

ok so you are saying to have it set so that the code morphs each line
instead of having it morph the fraction of the image as a whole....
so instead of having the piece morphed set up a code that morphs the
east line with so much of a curve that it looked like a
whole...........   I was looking into this and thought of a very
abstract way to do it but i doubt if it would work...... what if i set
up a template say in photoshop or GIMP and made that a reference or
outline link for what the code should represent.
  i.e create a grid that would form the piece given links to the image
that i created.
i was able to find a guide where a person set up an image with
different pointers for the mouse in the game... and had code that when
something happened the pointer would change given the place it pointed
to on the image.... I am currently trying to find that guide now...
does anyone think that would be possible.
