Does anyone know of any free online tools to turn a picture into a jigsaw puzzle that I can export to insert as a game in SL2? Or maybe there is a different method to do this? Can I do this in SL2? It would be so awesome if I could.
Hi Kai. I'm not aware of any free online tools that can do what you're looking for, but Tom Kuhlmann created this how-to video a while back that walks through how to do something very similar in PowerPoint: https://player.vimeo.com/video/149072531
There are also tons of free Photoshop actions and patterns available online to create puzzles from any image. Here is an example of a pic run through a Photoshop action and then turned into a puzzle-style drag-and-drop interaction in Storyline: http://dev.keypointlearn.com/xcl71_SL/DragDropSydney/story.html
I know this is not "how you can create" jigsaw puzzles, but recently someone used one of my photo images to create a jigsaw puzzle which you can download online here:
This is exactly what I am looking for. Is there a tutorial on 1) How the puzzle was created in PSD? 2) How the drag and drop was created in SL? 3) Will it be possible to have bigger pieces?
This one's a bit crude but they're free auto generators (Criss Cross, Word Find etc.) Here's a word doc with an example. In the past, we copy/pasted the puzzle output (new window opens which is text and the crossword grid (a picture) into Word, edited and used for a paper-based ex in the classroom. You could import into SL the basic puzzle image and enhance with graphics and use states with text boxes to reveal correct answers filled in if inputted answer is correct, and so forth.

Could be worth looking into how he did this...

Thanks.!
Thanks Dianne. I somehow can't see any option on how to view or play with the puzzle. It just shows a photo.
Thanks Trina.
Underneath the photo there are several links to download easy to hard versions. It downloads as an .exe file.
