In another embodiment, in the step of setting the total number of puzzle pieces or the size of the puzzle pieces (S112), the user sets the total number of puzzle pieces according to the size of the puzzle pieces by the user himself. You can adjust the game difficulty.

In one embodiment, setting the shape of the puzzle coupling unit (S114) sets the shape of the puzzle piece desired by the user.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, the puzzle coupling portion (PC1 to PC8) is a bump shape or convexly formed to include a neck portion in each of the horizontal and vertical segments (PHS, PVS) of the puzzle piece (PP) or According to the concave groove shape, it may have a total of eight shapes. Each of the puzzle coupling units PC1 to PC8 may have one of the first and second puzzle coupling curves PCC1 and PCC2 according to shapes, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B. At this time, the puzzle coupling parts PC1 to PC8 are formed in a straight line in any one of the horizontal and vertical segments PHS and PVS of the puzzle piece PP positioned at the outermost part of the puzzle game, depending on the position. .

In one embodiment, the first puzzle coupling curve PCC1 is a straight line segment and a Bezier curve segment formed by the first to sixth curve control points CP1 to CP6, as shown in FIG. 3A. It is configured to include. At this time, the first puzzle coupling curve PCC1 is a first straight line segment by the first and second curve control points CP1 and CP2 and a Bezier curve segment by the second to fifth curve control points CP2 to CP5. And a second straight line segment by the fifth and sixth curve control points CP5 and CP6. Here, the second and fifth curve control points CP2 and CP5 are located on a straight line connecting the first and sixth curve control points CP1 and CP6, and the first and sixth curve control points CP1 and CP6. ) And the third and fourth curve control points CP3 and CP4 are located between the second and fifth curve control points CP2 and CP5. The first puzzle coupling curve PCC1 always passes through the first, second, fifth and sixth curve control points CP1, CP2, CP5 and CP6, and the third and fourth curve control points CP3, Not via CP4). The third and fourth curved control points CP3 and CP4 serve to adjust the width of the humps or grooves of the puzzle coupling parts PC1 to PC8. Accordingly, the step (S104) of setting the shape of the puzzle coupling part may include the width (or width) of the neck portion NP of the Bezier curve segment according to the setting of each of the second and fifth curve control points CP2 and CP5. Depth of the first puzzle combining curve PCC1 by setting the depth of the Bezier curve segment or the groove shape of the Bezier curve segment according to the setting of each of the third and fourth curve control points CP3 and CP4 by the user. Set the type.

In one embodiment, the second puzzle coupling curve PCC2 is formed by first to third Bezier curve segments formed by the first to tenth curve control points CP1 to CP10, as shown in FIG. 3B. It is configured to include. In this case, the second puzzle coupling curve PCC2 is a first Bezier segment by the first to fourth curve control points CP1 to CP4 and a second Bezier by the fourth to seventh curve control points CP4 to CP7. The third Bezier segment by the seventh to tenth curve control points CP7 to CP10. Here, the first, fourth, seventh and tenth curve control points CP1, CP4, CP7, CP10 are located on one straight line, and the third and fifth curve control points CP3 and CP4 based on the straight line.

Next, a puzzle piece curve set is generated according to the puzzle piece clipping option set by the above-described step of setting the puzzle piece clipping option (S110). The step S120 of generating a puzzle piece curve set according to the puzzle piece clipping option will be described step by step.

First, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the puzzle pieces PP are horizontal in accordance with the first and second puzzle combining curves PCC1 and PCC2 set by the aforementioned step of setting the puzzle piece clipping option. And generating vertical segment seed curves (HSC, VSC) (S122). For example, the step S120 of generating the horizontal and vertical segment seed curves HSC and VSC of each puzzle piece PP may include at least one of the first and second puzzle combining curves PCC1 and PCC2 set by the user. Is randomly assigned to each of the horizontal and vertical segments PHS and PVS of each puzzle piece PP, thereby generating horizontal and vertical segment seed curves HSC and VSC of each puzzle piece PP.

Next, as shown in FIGS. 4C and 4D, each of the vertical and horizontal curve sets HCS and VCS is generated using the horizontal and vertical segment seed curves HSC and VSC of each generated puzzle piece PP. (S124). Here, in the step of generating each of the vertical and horizontal curve sets (HCS, VCS) (S130), a random value is assigned to each curve control point of each of the vertical and horizontal segment seed curves (HSC, PVC) of each generated puzzle piece PP. By assigning the shape of the puzzle coupling unit PC, it is possible to generate each of the vertical and horizontal curve sets HCS and VCS having subtle variations for each of the vertical and horizontal segment seed curves HSC and PVC.

Next, the size of each puzzle piece PP is optimized so that the total number of puzzle pieces set by the user's puzzle piece clipping option or the size of the puzzle pieces corresponds to the size of the set original image (S126). For example, as shown in FIG. 4E, when the original image 100 is cut into 15 puzzle pieces PP so as to have a grid shape of the same size, the vertical and horizontal segment seed curves (HSC) forming the grid shape are formed. , PVC), the set of lines corresponding to each is configured to include H [0,0] to V [5,2], as shown in FIG. 4F.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4G, each of the vertical and horizontal curve sets HCS and VCS generated in the optimized size puzzle piece PP is randomly combined to generate a square puzzle piece curve set. S128). Here, in the step of generating a puzzle piece curve set (S150), the puzzle piece curve set of a rectangular shape forming a closed surface is generated while shifting the horizontal and vertical segment seed curves HSC and VSC to the right and the bottom, respectively. At this time, if the starting curve control point of the H [p + 1, q] line must match the last curve control point of the H [p, q] line, the starting curve control point of the V [p, q + 1] line must be V [ p, q] must match the last curve control point. For example, any set of puzzle piece curves [2,2] may consist of H [2,2], V [3,2], sH [2,3] and sV [2,2] in order. . Where sH [2,3] and sV [2,2] are each symmetric segment seed curves created in the reverse order of the curve control points of H [2,2] and V [3,2], respectively. Segment seed curves of 3] and sV [2,2] are generated identically to segment seed curves of H [2,2] and V [3,2], respectively. However, the order may be adjusted so that the entire set of puzzle pieces curves [2, 2] form one closed surface. Accordingly, the vertical segment seed curves VSC formed at the boundary portions of the puzzle pieces PP adjacent in the horizontal direction have the same shape, and the horizontal segment seed curves formed at the boundary portions of the puzzle pieces PP adjacent in the vertical direction ( HSC) have the same form as each other. That is, when the puzzle coupling part PC formed on one side of the first puzzle piece PP is formed in a hump shape, the puzzle coupling part formed on the other side of the second puzzle piece PP coupled thereto PC) is formed in the shape of a groove to be joined with the puzzle coupling portion PC of the first puzzle piece PP.

Meanwhile, in the step (S128) of generating a puzzle piece curve set, a curve segment or a Bezier curve segment may be generated at an edge portion of each puzzle piece PP.

Next, the plurality of puzzle pieces PP are generated by clipping the original image 100 according to the generated puzzle piece curve set PPCS (S130).

Finally, along with the contour of each of the plurality of puzzle pieces PP clipped from the original image 100, a silhouette SI is assigned as shown in FIG. 5A, and as shown in FIG. 5B. In addition, each of the plurality of puzzle pieces (PP) clipped from the original image 100 is given a rotational function by a predetermined unit, and the shadow pieces SD of the puzzle pieces PP generated by light in a specific direction are puzzle pieces (PP). Given according to the rotation angle of (S140). Here, the silhouette SI may be used to indicate that the puzzle piece PP is selected when the user selects the puzzle piece PP during the puzzle game. And, even if the shadow SD is rotated by the rotation function of the puzzle piece PP, the shadow SD is always given in the same direction by the light in a specific direction.

As such, the puzzle piece clipping method of the jigsaw puzzle game according to an embodiment of the present invention allows the user to set the difficulty level of the game by setting the shape and size of the puzzle piece to a desired shape, thereby increasing the user's interest in the game.
