Programming Assignment 4: 8 Puzzle: Instructions Help Center
Specification
Here is the programming assignment specification that describes the assignment requirements.
Be sure that your code conforms to the prescribed APIs, including being in the "default" package and including only the public methods and constructors specified. Note that, as of Fall 2015, algs4.jar uses a "named" package, so you must use an import statement to access a class in algs4.jar.
Checklist
The checklist contains frequently asked questions and hints. If you're not sure where to start, see the section at the end of the checklist.
Testing
The file 8puzzle-testing.zip contains sample data files that you can use to test Board.java and Solver.java.
Web Submission
Submit a zip file named 8puzzle.zip that contains only the two source files Board.java and Solver.java. You will not receive a score or grade report unless you submit the zip file in this specified format. For example, the zip file must contain only the two specified files (and not a folder containing them).
