Tips for Solving on Your Own

Stack the Pieces
Each puzzle piece is on its own seperate layer. By stacking the pieces on top of each other, you are actually arranging them in order from top left to bottom right.

Turn of Rotation
There are only 4 ways a piece can fit into a puzzle. There is an option to turn the rotation off so you can cut that number down ot just 1.

Crab Removal
Getting tired of grabbing the crab instead of a puzzle piece? Crab no further! (see what I did there?) Just press the delete key and find yourself cured.

Custom Music
Step One: Go back into the options panel.
Step Two: Turn the game sound all the way down.
Step Three: Find your favorite music. This can be done either through streaming services such as Pandra Radio, or by firing up your stach of downloaded mp3s on WMP.

Still Frustrated?
A solution is provided in the next section.

Forgive me for being a complete thicky here but how do I actually use this? Do I copy the macro code into a document in the game folder?

Mary Virgin 24 Feb, 2023 @ 10:20am

Dude I am glad awarded you. this worked well even on Sexy Jigsaw following same methods. It did not auto lock pieces due to different picture sizes but did auto line them till 350 and even using C piled them in one place outside board.

Mary Virgin 19 Nov, 2022 @ 8:52am

The script has issues at times works well at times losses grip a bit especially last 3 rows on right side but overall time saver. I found since Pixel Puzzles has same template with different color and imaging merely script works on other games too. You can click on floating pieces outside and they snap and stack up. Great. Anyway to make these work on Ultimate series bigger puzzles of 800 - 1000 pieces? So giving you an award!

Mary Virgin 14 Oct, 2022 @ 12:52pm

which part to paste in notepad ahk? all of the text above? where do i check screen resolution in game?

Grimagin [author] 28 Jan, 2021 @ 2:44am

I hate having to grab all the pieces out of the water. I kind of just worked on it until I got to a point that worked for me. Then, I decided that I might as well share it.

Any suggestions or ideas for improvement would be appreciated.

Yea, I tried it in other games, but some are a little bit off. But I can easily change the script to fit the board in each game. Thanks again, you seem to spend some time on this script. An award is the least I can do haha

Grimagin [author] 27 Jan, 2021 @ 3:23pm

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad my script worked!

Some of the puzzle pieces are weird shapes that you'll have to grab a few of them yourself. Rather than changing the location of placement for each size of puzzle, I tried to do it simpler and faster by using a bit of math. That way you would be able to adjust it for your screen size and ratio without too much trouble.

This script will work with the other Pixel Puzzle games. However, if you have Space, then you'll notice that the board is located in a different position and a few adjustments will need to be made.

Script works great. One thing tho, on 60 piece puzzles, when pressing C to collect all the pieces, some of them (like 6-7 pieces) slip into the water and you have to place them a little more to the left. But this is a very minor discrepancy. Great job on making this. Does it work on the other games? :)
