My Easy Puzzle

The idea

It is a slide puzzle (I hope I can still call it a slide puzzle) based on numerical calculations. Numbers can be added with each other, as well as split into halves. The aim of the puzzle is to make the Board identical to the target board.

The idea: Behind the scenes

I wanted to add a twist to the traditional sliding puzzle. And the most striking idea that came to me was a color mixing puzzle where each cell contained a color, which can be mixed to make the board look identical to the target board. I liked the idea very much and I developed it. I faced many challenges, such as, when the multiple colors were mixed, the order of mixing was affecting the results. I fixed all the found issues and made it perfect. Then I was looking for a UI theme. As I was searching, I got the idea of a notebook page. Thus I made the app look like a notebook page.

That's when the most annoying problem occurred. As the puzzle can be any color, it was not matching with the background. Thus I had to either change the theme or change the idea. As I was not getting a suitable theme, capable of accompanying random colors, I altered the idea to use numbers instead of colors. It had two benefits. One, it was easy to match with the theme, and two, there were no confusions. Confusions in the sense, two different colors may look similar, but not in the case of numbers.

That's how the idea was born.

Development

I used Flutter for the development (Obviously).

Challenges we ran into

The main challenge was the time. Even though sufficient time was given, academic duties made it a little tough. Also, as the time extended, the level expected from us will get higher.
