This project was created for educational and experimental purposes.
This n-puzzle has two main objectives:
1 - To find some solutions for a classic AI problem, the N Puzzle.
2 - To try out some Java RIA framework.
For this actual version 1.1, I used the A* Pathfinding, Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing solutions. I used the Encog framework, the GA and SA implementations.
On the RIA side, I used Apache Pivot, and have a good result with it :).
I also used Apache Maven as build tool, so if you try to compile it from the code, you"ll have to download it.
I"ve also have open sourced another educational project based on the TSP problem, so check it out if you got interest :)
