How can I make a slider puzzle?

[alydon]

You know the sort- 9 squares, one space, move the squres into a spce until they get to the right place and reveal the picture.

Any ideas if this is possible?

You would need to set some objects with "restrictors" and "blockers" for the game. I haven't made one myself though. Maybe someone already has one done!

I have seen that there is a neat A "Maze" ing Game created by one of the development team in ActivInspire. Perhaps this will help you out?

I just made the attached .Moving Blocks.flipchart in Inspire to demonstrate how you can use restrictors 'can block' property to limit movements of blocks. This is a quick and dirty example but you could tidy it up and use snap to grids behind the blocks to assist easier movement and alignment - perhaps with a bit more space between the blocks. I used the camera tool to create the blocks.

My guess is that it would be pretty complicated (if even possible) in studio. I have anotehr possible work around though. Have you ever seen befuddler. You can scramble their images or you can upload your own to flickr and scramble those. I don't thing you can download and embed them but you can certainly link to it.

thanks everyone- slider puzzle made. I made the blocks from a picture using th camera, . Set the grid, and resized them all to be exactly the sam and snapped them to grid. Then I rezed them all a tiny bit to make them smaller, and set them not to change size any more, not to snap, but to block. Then a made a shape to blok them in..... and voila!!!!!

Thanks for all the ideas. I think it would have been easier in inspire, with the browser window for the actions, but I have one in studio now. [clap]

Oh, but you should post your work so we can all see! ;)

Here's one I did earlier! I just used the blocking function: so all the squares block as does the rectangle (pen modifier). The hardest bit was cutting out the shapes.
