jqJigsawPuzzle
jqJigsawPuzzle is a JavaScript library that lets you create jigsaw puzzles in your web pages.
It requires jQuery and jQuery UI, and, by the moment, it only works in webkit browsers, since it uses the CSS property -webkit-mask-image
.
Usage
In order to use jqJigsawPuzzle, first you must include the JavaScript and CSS files of jqJigsawPuzzle, jQuery and jQuery UI into your page's <head>
tag:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="jquery-ui.custom.css"/>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="jqJigsawPuzzle.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-ui.custom.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jqJigsawPuzzle.js"></script>
And then you must call one of the jqJigsawPuzzle methods:
- jqJigsawPuzzle.createPuzzleFromImage: transform a
<img>
element into a puzzle. - jqJigsawPuzzle.createPuzzleFromURL: adds a puzzle into a
<div>
element, using an image defined by a URL.
For example:
<div>
<img id="my_puzzle" src="img/alaska-cliffs.jpg" alt=""/>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
jqJigsawPuzzle.createPuzzleFromImage("#my_puzzle");
});
</script>
