Re: Virtual Jigsaw Puzzles

I have been using a similar piece of shareware that does much the same

thing. It's called brainsbreaker or Brainbraker, Don't have it right

in front of me. Been using it for several years along with the NFB.

If you are a BrainMaster user I have a piece of software that allow you

to choose a BMP image (square works best) and import it. The picture

is revealed one square at a time as points are scored. 136 squares

total.

The BrainsBreaker software (not bofeedback driven) is available at

http://www.brainsbreaker.com/

The Puzzle program that works with BMr software is a program that I

wrote out of frustration with the poor training displays BMr has

included.

Any way of getting a copy of your program, I too hate the interface that is

given.

Thanks,

Thanks, ...

Writing a program that works is my next challenge! I'll let you know if I

can pull it off! I appreciate the information.
