This site was a test exercise to develop a javascript-based puzzle, inspired by the BBC Four programme Only Connect.
The aim of the game is to find the connections in sixteen words to form four groups of four. Correctly selected groups of four are rearranged into a row.
The puzzle includes a countdown timer, indicated by a red line crossing the screen.
The design of the site uses a photo of a brick wall which has been modified so that it will “tile” seamlessly to fill the screen. A “knockout” effect was then created with Pixelmator graphics software, using zoom and noise filters and paintbrush to create the 3D effect for the bricks.
If you’re a fan of Only Connect or just want to give it a try, the walls are here, but be warned that most of them are fiendishly difficult.
