I'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.
Good idea, thank you!

#22nice app it could be fun to also animate the puzzle solution
Thanks for the suggestion :)

#23Would 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.
That is my plan, to do a honeycomb structure. :)

Haha, I didn't get any response previously and will be getting laid off soon so extra free time...
Re: Show HN: A simple image puzzle generator
#26Neat, 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…
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?
Not really, time doesn't make something difficult, just tedious. For the cat puzzle, smaller pieces doesn't really make a difference. Once you get a corner it is easy to line up and knock them down. So, just tedious

#28Have had this bookmarked for a very long time and go back to it semi regularly.
Any chance you can load a bunch of stock photos into the various categories? I think there's only ~8 or so in each.
