Would be even more satisfying if 180 degree turns were less common.
I also wonder how hard it would be to tile with different shapes. Hexagons or squares and octagons could be really neat.

#12The easiest option is still too hard for my son.

#13Neat, but the "Diffictulty" slider is a bit of a misnomer, IMHO. Puzzles with more pieces just take longer. I'm not sure what would be a better label, though. (If I were feeling uncharitable, I would propose "Tedium", or perhaps "Carpal Tunnel Risk" :-)
I wonder if there might be a way of changing the difficulty without changing the number of pieces? Like maybe putting gridlines between the pieces, so that you can't actually see the seamless connection between two correctly-oriented pieces?

#14I'd love to see a button added to show what pieces are wrong. There are a couple of images with heavy vignette so the edges are pretty indistinguishable. It'd be cool if I could get the incorrect pieces bordered or similar.

#16this is nice. would also be fun to solve it with computer vision

Hmm, I don't know to be honest, usually difficulty translates to spending more time and the pieces being smaller does it make it visually harder to discern right?

#18This could be a nice distraction, but unfortunately the interaction latency makes it feel so sluggish I can’t get into flow.
What browser, OS?
On windows both Firefox and Chrome have no discernible latency for me at least.
Re: Show HN: A simple image puzzle generator
#19really nice. Unfortunately once I spotted the score tells you you've hit the correct rotation, I just looped over all the squares clicking each one until my points went up.
Ah, that is why I have added the number of moves and the ideal number of moves :)

#20Seeing the image come into focus is pretty satisfying, and the half-solved puzzle looks pretty cool. Nice job
Thank you :)
