8-Puzzle

(Java baby steps)

Sorry, you are not using a Java compatible browser

Click on a tile next to the blank space to move it.

History:

2/3/96 -- Added custom update method to make redrawing of the puzzle iteself happen offscreen to get rid of occasional flicker.

2/2/96 -- The randomize button now works, and the Repeat Last button currently puts the puzzle back in order. That will change.

1/29/96 -- Note that although buttons now appear for the aforementioned functions, they don't actually do anything yet. Oh well, at least I figured out Layouts.

1/25/96 -- First put up. Much more is coming, including a randomize button an a couple of AI search algorithms to automatically solve the puzzle.
