A long time ago I used to have a Sarah Michelle Gellar Javascript puzzle up. I made it one day while I was bored and trying to learn Javascript. I figured it’d fall into the abyss that a lot of my Javascript projects fell into (anyone remember that ghost clicking game I had?). Oddly enough though, it ended up generating quite a few emails. Mostly Sarah Michelle Gellar fans. Later I built a more advanced slider puzzle, but it was total crap and featured Britney Spears (not the best choice) and I’ve always wanted to write a better one. So on Sunday I sat down and churned one out. One that would allow me to do lazy updates by automatically looking for new puzzle images (keeping the data and the script separate).<\/p>\n
Originally I was going to make a Sarah Michelle Gellar slider puzzle gallery – but then copyright issues came to mind and I decided to not to risk it. Plus I thought it might look kind of creepy for me to have a\u00a0large, shrine-like Sarah Michelle Gellar puzzle gallery on my site.<\/p>\n
My next choice was to do Salvador Dali paintings, but it turns out his stuff is under copyright too – and for the next 50 years at that. The ARS, who now manage Dali’s copyrights, seem to be pretty active in going after potential violators<\/a>. Not the kind of people I want to tangle with.<\/p>\n So instead, for my first slider puzzle gallery, I decided to use the works of Paul C\u00e9zanne. He’s a famous impressionist painter whose paintings often pop up in computer graphics journal papers, since the images are public domain. You can see the resulting slider puzzles here:<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.patorjk.com\/games\/sliderpuzzles\/<\/a><\/p>\n I think I’m going to try and have a variety of galleries since it simply involves finding free images to use.<\/p>\n As stated before this script is relatively new, so it may be a bit buggy. Let me know if you have any problems – or if you have any suggestions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A long time ago I used to have a Sarah Michelle Gellar Javascript puzzle up.
