Remember those connect the dots games you used to play as a kid? You know, the ones where you could pretty much tell what the picture was going to be without even putting your pencil to paper, but somehow after you tried to draw lines between 174 different dots you couldn't quite make out the picture?Ever wonder how those were made? Well we're pretty sure it wasn't with an easy to use online program like picture dots. Unless you're 8 years old, that is. In that case, maybe someone did design one of these puzzles for you online.
Anyway, picture dots is a pretty basic utility. You upload a picture or input the URL of a photo online, and then you can place numbered dots at key points. Sure, it'd be nice if picture dots found the outlines and created dots for you, but how lazy are you really?
Anyway, this way you can make puzzles with varying degrees of difficulty by placing the dots closer together or further apart. If you sign up for an account you can distribute your puzzle to others, or without registering, you can create and print a puzzle.
