Overlay one image on another

[Flutrpooch]

I am absolute newbie and have a question.
I want to build an iPhone and android app that will do the following:_
First, the user takes an photo with their phone.
Next the app overlays a vector image of jigsaw puzzle.
Then user taps a piece of that jigsaw and that piece disappears.
How should I go about this ?

I’m not sure what you are asking.

If you’re an absolute newbie then you need to learn HTML/CSS/JS to even get started on building an app. Then you’d need to learn the various codebases to build apps suitable for IOS/Android/WinPhone etc.

It’s nice to have an idea but without the necessary basic knowledge I’m afraid that your question is waaaaay to broad.

Thanks for such a quick reply. But my question is this,
is what I am trying to do achievable with HTML and CSS?

is what I am trying to do achievable with HTML and CSS?

What precisely?

HTML/CSS can’t control your device or capture photos, JS and app code do that.

HTML/CSS can’t split images into separate images although JS probably could.

HTML/CSS can’t detect touches/taps (as such), JS does that.

HTML/CSS can overlay one image on top of another, although that would be an single step in the entire process since the overlay would just go away once the image has been broken up.
