PicPuzzle

=========

PicPuzzle is a puzzle game written using MSX-BASIC and

[MSX-BASIC Kun](https://www.generation-msx.nl/software/ascii-corporation/msx-basic-kun/721/)

as well. It's a kind of [15 Number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_Puzzle)

game, something I used to play when I was a kid, but instead of squares

labeled with numbers I decided to play using pictures from

[Vincent van Gogh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_van_Gogh)

just like in jigsaws.

I'm using eight paintings from the artist:

- [Bedroom in Arles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedroom_in_Arles)

- [Fishing Boats on the Beach at Saintes-Marie](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saintes-Maries_(Van_Gogh_series))

- [Langlois Bridge in Arles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langlois_Bridge_at_Arles)

- [The Night Café](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Night_Caf%C3%A9)

- [The Red Vineyard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Vineyard)

- [The Starry Night](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Starry_Night)

- [Wheat Field with Cypresses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_Field_with_Cypresses)

- [The Yellow House](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yellow_House)

Game

----

This game uses MSX-BASIC Kun to improve the performance.

### Requirements

This game requires at least a MSX2 computer with:

- 64 KiB of RAM

- 128 KiB of VRAM

- One 720 KiB DD disk drive (or any kind of compatible with MSX-Disk BASIC

  mass-storage device).

This version doesn't support joysticks.

### Running

For disk drives, just put the game's disk in the drive, turn the computer

on, and wait while it is automatically executed. For harddisks, memory

cards or memory sticks, simply copy all files to it and run

`BASIC AUTOEXEC.BAS` on MSX-DOS or run `RUN "AUTOEXEC.BAS"` on MSX-BASIC.

You can also

[run](https://webmsx.org?MACHINE=MSX2A&DISK=https://github.com/plainspooky/pic-puzzle-msx/releases/download/v0.1/PicPuzzle.2023.Crunchworks.zip)
