Greetings, noble travelers!
Worry thyself no longer with cursed tiles and maddening shuffles. If thine spirit be weary, or thy hands grow tired of sliding those infernal puzzle pieces - behold!
For I have summoned forth an arcane enchantment, ancient and wise, which shall guide thee step by step to the solution of thy trials.
Just keep in mind that for very complex shuffles, it might take a little while to process.
It’s not perfect — 5x5 grid puzzles can be pretty tricky, especially when math is involved, but it gets the job done.
Since I’m not a Java expert, I may not be able to help with any errors you come across.
The program is already compiled for you and it’s Java-based.
Also, keep in mind that a fully working version of the solver is available online at 2004HQ
Here are some quick instructions to run it:
- Unzip the files into one folder.
- Open Command Prompt or Terminal in that folder.
- Run this command:
java -jar PuzzleSolver.jar
