Sam Loyd's Fifteen puzzle

[odklizec]

Hi folks,

I just created this nice little game for your pleasure (while testing AutoIt capabilities). You know..this is a well known board game with 15 stones. The stones are randomized and you should reorder them using the empty space. The game is always solvable..no dead ends

I'm curious about your result! Anything under 100 turns is great result. If you do it above 200..well, you should try it again Even child can do it above 200..

I really like this game

On my Mac I have it on my dashboard, except it's a jumbled picture of a Tiger (Mac OSX Tiger ).

I also have one that's a small metal square with re-arrangable pieces; I got it one Christmastime and liked it. Kinda a lame gift, though

Excellent work, any cahnce of making this capable of loading a picture, cutting it into 16 pieces, and using the pieces of the picture to move around....? Probably pretty hard but itd be cool to do, great work tho!

Well, this shouldn't be so hard to do this using for example irfanview (command line version) to crop the selected image. But because I prefer a built in functions, I'm looking for image crop using the windows calls (GDI or GDI+). But at the moment, I don't have any clue how to do that Any idea? I know this was discussed several times in the past, but I don't think the irfanview way is the best option We have to find a better one..
