For algorithm or programming questions about sliding puzzles (such as the 8-puzzle or 15-puzzle), where the player is challenged to slide randomized, numbered tiles along certain routes on a board in order to arrive at a certain end configuration. There is one tile missing, in order to facilitate movement.
For algorithm or programming questions about sliding puzzles, such as the 8-puzzle or 15-puzzle, which challenge the player to slide randomized, numbered tiles along the playing surface in order to arrive at a certain end configuration. There is one tile missing, in order to facilitate movement of other tiles across the board.
Commonly, such puzzles are solved with an A* algorithm.
