Preset puzzles - ChromaticPuzzle
comes with 20 preset puzzles, featuring stunning artwork and

Create a puzzle - A puzzle can be
created by importing any image in any of the supported file
formats (.bmp, .gif or .jpg). The width and the height of the
new puzzle, as well as the average number of tiles, can be
freely chosen. ChromaticPuzzle automatically makes all
the necessary calculations to ensure playability.
Select a game - To each game is
unambiguously related a game number, and vice versa. Each game
number identifies a specific shuffle and thus uniquely
determines the shape and size of all tiles as well as the
initial color and order of all plates. ChromaticPuzzle
can generate a million billion different shuffles for each
puzzle, numbered from 1 to 999,999,999,999,999. Any of these
game numbers can be selected.
Hint move - ChromaticPuzzle
can suggest a move by highlighting two mergeable plates in the
play area.
Element handling - All tiles and
plates in the play area can be flushed left, right, top or
bottom. They can also be sorted horizontally, sorted vertically
or removed from the play area.
Players - Players can be added,
edited or deleted. This allows games of any puzzle to be played
in a competitive way.
Statistics - ChromaticPuzzle
uses statistical analysis in many different ways and can show
statistics relating to played games (game statistics) and to
players (player statistics). In addition, it keeps track of all
played games (games log) and of highest scores (highest scores).
Game statistics and player statistics feature attractive graphs.
Grayscale puzzle background - For
reference, a grayscale copy of the puzzle can be used as
background for the play area.
Thumbnail - For reference, likewise,

window. This window can be moved anywhere on the screen.

play list that can be totally customized. A few songs are also
included as examples.
Selectable windows - The play area
is made up of two identical windows, in order to provide more
space for tiles and plates. A game can be played simultaneously
in both windows, switching from one to the other and moving
elements back and forth at will.
