# Picture puzzle

<img src="puzzle.png" />

A desktop game similar to the standard widget in windows 7.  The game is written
in C++ (including C++17 standard). FLTK was used as a graphics library. This
library is not as heavy as Qt, and allows to quickly create an application with
graphical widgets. 

The essence of the game should be clear: to collect the image in its original
form, moving one puzzle per move.

The application has the following features:

- *upload your image in any format and resolution. The program itself will
  resize, cut into puzzles, create the appropriate directory and save them in
  it.*

- *showing the complete solution of the puzzle using the optimization algorithm
  A\*.*

- *the game is distributed in a single executable file by embedding the original
  standard image (toucan image) in the executable file. The image data is stored
  in an array in an object file (resources.o)*

- *support for \*unix and Windows platforms*

## Building
