I'm going to start a new project that includes "puzzle pieces". Each piece "interlocks" to another peice, as a real world puzzle would.
I need to highlight each piece when the mouse travels over it (using a MouseMotionListener). This is easy to do with square or rectangular shapes, but I've not tried this with odd shape pieces. I could certainly have the centers act as the "hotspot", but this isn't really what the customer wants. The piece should highlight when any portion of it is under the cursor.
This project (or at least this one part of it) would be easy to do in Flash. Any suggestions on how to do it
Java?
