Irritating Puzzle
Monday, January 18th, 2010UPDATE1: As pointed out by a helpful redditor called “ijanos” this game is called “Klotski”, wikipedia has an article about it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klotski
UPDATE2: I’ve uploaded a new version with the solution from “Henrik”.
UPDATE3: I wrote a blog post about stats regarding this game here.
I was over at a friends house for New Years. He had received this “annoying puzzle” as a Christmas gift. I spent 10 minutes fiddling with it, until my wife politely yanked it out of my hands. Before leaving I took a photo of the damned evil thing, thinking I’d quickly make it in flash and solve it on my own time.
The objective is to move the pieces around until the Big Red Square reaches the bottom center. At the bottom side of the box, there is a thin slit. The Big Red Bastard is “thinner” than the others and once in position, it can slide through. Couldn’t be simpler eh?
As planned, I quickly shit together a working copy of the puzzle.
I kid you not, solving this hell spawn took me longer than coding the shitty game!!! I saved my solution for posterity, and it contains a most embarassing 759 moves 
So, are you as retarded as me? Try it out:
(oh yeah, mind the elite graphic design and sizzling game play, only one piece can move, one step at a time)
If you do manage to solve it, the “moves” are automatically printed out in the text box. In the likely case that you have less moves than me, just select all, copy and paste the solution in the comments below… I’ll add the solution into the flash and upload it again…
*enjoy*
