You can do this same procedure whenever you have in the screen something interesting to be "puzzled". BrainsBreaker allows creating a new puzzle with anything visible in the computer's screen or with your image files. The inner of that rectangle will be the actual image of the puzzle.ĥ) Now click on the Save button, and you should see the new puzzle available in the gallery. To do it, click the mouse and drag it, you'll see a rectangle that shrinks and grows. Press the "Create a new puzzle" button.ģ) The program will enter in the jigsaw creation screen: You'll see the screen as it was when you pressed "Print screen" and, at the right-bottom, a window where to choose the features for the new puzzle.Ĥ) Before hitting Save, you can crop to select only the part that will be actually the puzzle. The other method is "copying the image to the Clipboard".įor example, follow the steps below and you will have a new puzzle with what you are seeing now (this text, a rather bizarre jigsaw puzzle but interesting experiment):ġwin) On Pc+Windows: Press the "Print Screen" key (it's at the right of F12 in most keyboards).ġmac) On Mac: Press the keys Control+Command+Shift+3 simultaneously (more info here).Ģ) Run BrainsBreaker and it will show a message window saying "Image detected in the Clipboard, do you want to create a puzzle?". If you have the photos in jpeg files (the most usual format) just drag the file over the program's icon and it should start with the screen for creating a new puzzle with that image. I want to order BrainsBreaker as a gift for someone else. Then you can send them the puzzles you create with BB5 and they will open directly.

So, to send the gift puzzles you only have to tell your friends to download the program from and install it. This provides much more security because the program is signed, has passed security tests and is installed through the regular procedure and eliminates the problems when sending the puzzles.Īn additional advantage of this system is that now people with Mac computers can play the gift puzzles too.
#Whats new at brainsbreaker software
The only inconvenience is that the receivers will need to install the software themselves. It makes sense because someone could make a malicious program that for example could erase your hard disk and disguise it as some other type of program (for example a puzzle or whatever).īrainsBreaker gift puzzles now are generated without the software, just the puzzle. Sending an executable by email now is not allowed by the email systems, they block sending them for security reasons. This was the way the gift puzzles were created in old incarnations of BrainsBreaker. The stand-alone gift puzzles were in fact a software program containing the puzzle.
