Eight-Puzzle Game

Posted Oct 25, 2020 1 min read

This is a JavaScript implementation of the classic 8-puzzle game. I’ve also built in an AI to solve the puzzle if you are stuck.

Features

  • Uses the A* algorithm to find the shortest way to solve the puzzle
  • You can choose any image to show in the tiles. It will replace the numbers though.
  • The blank tile can also be controlled using hand gestures. It was trained using supervised learning on a custom dataset of over 5000 photos (all the photos are of me showing my hand to the camera 😄).
