Thanks for your input. I will certainly take that into consideration.

Thank you

What photo did not appear? Could you explain your issue clearly. Is it that the normal image doesn't appear or the tiles don't appear?

I am not sure where you are facing problems. Could you email me separately if you need any help?

Thank you. 🙏

Thanks for the input.

Thanks

Good point!

Thanks for your input.

Would you call these patterns cardioidic and anti-cardioidic like tesselations

Thanks for the input.

That’s more thanks than I received for the 2010 Nobel prize : )

No. Also the Ying Yang shape was specifically chosen by the researchers. Perhaps you already knew that.

Not sure what you are referring to.

Okay. I will create the necessary scripts or make changes to the c# files and create a branch in GitHub next week for you.

@@faramirasg thank you

Hi. If I am not mistaken, the interaction is via mouse click. You can view the newer version of the tutorial at: th-cam.com/video/J7b0VhoveU0/w-d-xo.html

@faramirasg Thank you sir, problem solved :)

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked the graphical explanation. 😊 As for why I used 3D elements for a 2D game, Unity operates primarily in a 3D space, so using 3D components can simplify things like physics and UI, even for 2D gameplay. In my case, I opted for 3D elements to demonstrate flexibility and to leverage 3D capabilities, even though the gameplay is essentially 2D. Regarding the AI slowness beyond 20 moves, that's expected due to the complexity of the A* search algorithm; the number of possible states grows rapidly, making it more computationally intensive. Different AI variations might use different heuristics, which can impact their speed. I will keep your suggestion in mind to include more visual explanations in future tutorials!

Thank you. I will follow up with another tutorial on creating an animated player with many animations and proceeding towards an endless runner game.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I truly appreciate it. 🙏

@@faramirasg Hello teacher, I would like to ask if you can make a game for us from scratch. It could include a racing game with scoring and time, for example, thank you in advance.

You can choose 2d built in renderer.

@faramirasg thank you

will really appreciate help if you can see the below adjustments i have made and the "TODO" and "FIXME" notes. i have uploaded the code to pastebin with id "a3xyPv59" - for some reason i cant paste the link here

youtube auto delete my comment when i try to give code snippet

One way to do that would be to have multiple images with varying resolutions and use the appropriate image based on the tile size. Another option would be to use the same image size and change the curve start and end control points. You could scale the curve points based on your tilesize. For the tutorial, I used a tile size of 100x100 with a padding of 20. For tile size of 200 by 200 you could use a padding of 40 and scale the curve.

@@faramirasg thats what i ended up doing, that being said it only worked when i tried to scale by X2, going above didnt produce usable pieces.

Could you explain what you meant by not usable tiles. Do you mean low resolution or the curves are not smooth?

Sorry, I made it private due to some upgrading and assignment related activity. Please give me your email and I will send the source zip to you.

To make your game available on all mobile resolutions, use a responsive UI setup by applying the 'Canvas Scaler' with the 'Scale With Screen Size' option in Unity. Adjust the game's aspect ratio by dynamically scaling gameplay elements based on the device's screen resolution and consider adding safe zones to account for notches or rounded edges. From the puzzle tiles perspective, you could also implement camera pan, zoom functions. I know of one of my viewers who actually created and published a jigsaw puzzle game on Google play! play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Aradgames.JigsawMania2

Thank you for your comment. The read/write error usually occurs when the texture's "Read/Write" option is not enabled. I understand you have already enabled it, so it may be something else causing the issue. Ensure that the texture is set to a format that Unity can handle properly. The complete GitHub project works and you can verify by downloading it and trying. If you still have further issues then please do contact me via linkedin or email. I will do my best to help you out.

Thank you for your comment. I apologise for reverting late. I will come back with a proper answer by next week. I hope that's okay with you. 🙏

@@faramirasg I am also glad and grateful that you answered! I will look forward to your answer, because it is very necessary for me!) :)

Alright. I believe you could follow the same process for generating the jigsaw tiles using the Bezier Curve, but this time apply it to a white image instead of the colored one. Do let me know if you manage to solve it.

@@faramirasg Thanks for your reply, appreciate it! You mean make same puzzles but with white texture? But they come out as separate images, right? Is it possible to combine them somehow, or make them one image at all?

Does it not greatly affect the fps to have several images? If not, no problem, and that's fine)

Thank you.

You can adjust it by setting the depth value. Meaning the z value of the background image. It should be behind.

@@faramirasg I already tried adjusting the z value of the background image, but the tiles remained unmovable unless the z value of the background image is too high or too low that makes it not visible to the main camera anymore

Thanks

Thanks! We will need to amend and adapt for it to work in 2D. This tutorial is primarily targeted for 3D scenes.

I don't think I understand what you means by "over 80% screen on every resolution?"

@@faramirasg I want to add a UI scroll view on the right side of the screen to display tiles, with the remaining space dedicated to showing the puzzle board. This setup should be responsive across all landscape screen orientations. How can achieve using this project .While now my only issue is responsiveness because if i use 1200 x 800 image it will show correctly on one resolution but not work with other resolution some tiles and sprites come down the UI(scroll view). Any solution or suggestion if you have to fix it.

You can try not changing the camera properties based on the tile size.

Thank you! It is possible but you will need to experiment and try. I have not created a tutorial that uses the UI elements to create the Jigsaw tiles.

Thank you! Cheers!

Yes, you can adjust the number of tiles. In fact, toward the end, you'll notice that I load jigsaw puzzles with a varying number of tiles, increasing the count as you complete each puzzle. To change the number of tiles, simply adjust the resolution of the input image. For an image with a resolution of 1200 by 800, there will be 12x8 tiles. For an image with a resolution of 1600 by 1200, there will be 16x12 tiles. Do let me know if you manage to solve it.

@@faramirasg I made a method where I resize the textures. I abstract from width/heigh the tileSize*X where X can be 1,2,3 etc. That way, for the same image I can get different number of puzzle pieces

That's great. Thank you for sharing your idea.🙏

@@andreashadjithoma1410 Can you explain a little more about that? Where exactly should we add this multiplication by a certain variable to increase the number of tiles without changing the images themselves? Thank you.

​@@faramirasgCan you please explain this method @andreashadjithoma1410 how to increase the number of tiles? It is also interesting, and I like that there you can set the number of tiles. Thank you

Yes. It will work. I had done it before. However you will need to make sure that the area fits.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Regarding your question about using Backtracking or Branch and Bound algorithms in a dynamically generated maze to avoid enemies, I would be happy to help. Could you please provide more details about your current implementation and what specific challenges you are facing? For instance, how are the enemies behaving and moving within the maze? Are there any particular constraints or requirements for the pathfinding algorithm you need to meet? Which NPC will use pathfinding? etc. Feel free to share more information here, or if you prefer, you can email me directly with the details at [faramira.sg at gmail dot com]. This will help me understand your situation better and offer more targeted advice. Looking forward to hearing from you!

@@faramirasg I sent you an email, looking forward for your response! Thank you again.

I did not receive any email from you. Please double check the address. It is faramira.sg@gmail.com

@@faramirasg I sen it in that same adress, please check again I reset a second one. Thank you.

Yes I received it. I will look into it the week after next. Thank you 👍

Great question! The key concept here is Hawking radiation. When a particle-antiparticle pair is created near the event horizon of a black hole, one of the particles (e.g., the positron) can escape while the other falls into the black hole. In general, the below points capture the essence. 1. Near the event horizon, quantum fluctuations create pairs of particles and antiparticles. 2. If one particle falls into the black hole and the other escapes, the black hole loses a tiny bit of its mass-energy equivalent to the escaping particle's energy. 3. The black hole doesn't consume the space where the positron is. Instead, the energy needed to create the particle pair effectively comes from the black hole's mass. This process results in a gradual loss of mass from the black hole, which is observed as Hawking radiation. The positron escapes, contributing to the black hole's radiating energy and leading to a slow decrease in its mass over time.

Hi there! I am glad you found the tutorial helpful! The error you are encountering, MissingReferenceException, typically occurs when you are trying to access an object in your game that has been destroyed or is no longer valid. In the context of your game, it seems like you might be trying to access a SpriteRenderer component that has been destroyed and then re-accessed when returning to the game scene. Without directly examining your code, it's challenging to pinpoint the exact source of the problem. However, this error commonly occurs when you have a reference to a game object or component that gets destroyed and then you attempt to use it later. Review the part of your code where you access or hold references to the SpriteRenderer component. Ensure that you are not trying to access this component after the game object it belongs to has been destroyed or unloaded. To prevent this error, always perform null checks before using any object or component. For example: if (mySpriteRenderer != null) { // Access or modify mySpriteRenderer safely } MissingReferenceException can arise due to various reasons related to how objects are managed and accessed in your game. Without looking into your specific code implementation, these are general guidelines to approach and resolve such issues. If you need further assistance, feel free to share relevant snippets of your code for more targeted help.

Thank you.

Thank you for this interesting comment! Karl Guthe Jansky was indeed a pioneering figure in radio astronomy, and his discovery of radio waves emanating from the center of the Milky Way in 1932 laid the groundwork for our understanding of Sagittarius A* as a supermassive black hole.

The term "Sagittarius A*" is actually used to refer to the radio source at the center of our galaxy, which was initially thought to be a star due to its intense radio emissions. However, further observations revealed its true nature as a supermassive black hole. The designation "Sagittarius A*" is a historical artifact that originated from early radio astronomy observations.

The depth is unknown, like a hole

That is an interesting comment and a thoughtful question! The term "hole" metaphorically describes how matter and light seem to disappear into it, as if falling into a hole in space. The "black" part refers to the fact that nothing can escape from it, rendering it invisible or "black" to outside observers. Why it's not called a "black globe" it's likely because the term "hole" emphasises the idea of a region of space where matter and light are inexorably drawn in, while "globe" might imply a more solid or enclosed structure which doesn't quite capture the essence of the phenomenon.

It's the same mechanism to increase the tile size. You will need to create a curve based on your dimensions. Alternatively, you can also scale the curve. Both ways are feasible. Best would be to create a curve that starts from 0 to the dimension you want minus the padding.

@@faramirasg how can i lessen the curve ? I worked hard for processing high resolution images, i tried different ways, like first i tried to change methods, it gave many errors, then i tried to scale down the image, after a while i succeed but then image was gone ?! Dont get me wrong it can process high resolution images right now, but i mean high resolution images without many puzzle pieces ?

I am happy to know that the tutorial was a help for you. You can find many such projects on my GitHub github.com/shamim-akhtar. Thank you and I wish you all the best.

Thanks 🙏

I hope you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for your response, which is simply mind blowing...
