How do I Make this puzzle game mechanism more simple

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30159850/system.rar

here is what i did

idea is next:

make exactly same move of sprites like in this mini game on windows 7

so i did mechanism for that, but, its to complicated but it works perfect

its there any simpler solution?

its there any simpler solution?

Ok..I accepted the challenge..

If I understand correctly..movement should look like:

(player click on sprite..and sprite move to "empty space")

I spent almost 15 events for movement...(yes...I know it can be simpler )

I hope to complete the entire mini-game(sort the frames from 0-14) in less than 30 events...

But ...

at this moment I'm obviously too stupid to solve the problem

my best result..after a half hour of trying!!!

so..when I manage to confirm that the game works properly...I will upload capx...

That was actually one of my first games to try:

Wonder if I still have the capx..

korbaach How are you generating the board? It can not just be random as it has been proven that 1/2 the configurations are unsolvable.

blackhornet Thanks man!....yes..I generating random frames...

..do you have some advice, how to do it properly?

..I know I can write frames in array...but surely, not every possible combination...

It's not simple. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15_puzzle

The easiest way is to start in the correct positions, and then randomly simulate the moves to shift them around. As long as the moves are valid, then they can be undone.

I did a game like that a while back here:

It could be simpler but i was going for a dragging mechanic.

korbaach

I solved that by starting with it solved and then having it do 100 random moves or so.

You can greatly simplify your capx in a few ways:

* use different animation frames instead of different sprite types.

* only position detectors around the sprite you tap.

Thank you.. blackhornet & R0J0hound !

Now... when you say solution..I see that it is only logical solution...

yes.. ..I also see Harvey

Where is the 217 update ??

The link is at the bottom of this page.

so...here is my attempt..

Mystic Square2.capx

But... really do not like While loop...in "swapMix" function...

any advice?!
