Multiplayer 15 puzzle sim

[Stefan]

1 2 3 4 5 6 x 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 14 16 I guess. Not sure if it's solvable though.

I guess the "14 14" should be "14 15" but even then it's unclear what you mean as you gave me a one-dimensional description of a two-dimensional thing. Did you mean row-wise or column-wise? Left to right or right to left? Upwards or downwards? Or a spiral or something else? I'm actually serious about this, as the "obvious" goal is not reachable. And if that picture isn't valid, you should feel appropriately embarrassed for wearing it

That's just like pictures of cubes with the wrong color scheme, it's artists that have no knowledge of the puzzle.

How is melting cube the wrong color scheme? I'm pretty sure that's right.
I may be stupid though since I don't have a cube with me to check and I'm too lazy to reach over and look at it.

The centres are fine, but there's a corner with white and yellow on it and an edge with blue and green.

The centres are fine, but there's a corner with white and yellow on it and an edge with blue and green.

Turn the white face with 180 degrees. Now the white-orange-yellow corner is in its place (cannot be elsewhere because of the centers), and:
Blue is opposite to orange,
Red is opposite to yellow,
White is opposite to green.

So the edges are fine! Nothing is bad with them.

However, there is a problem: the yellow-orange-white and the yellow-orange-unknown corners. Both has the same colors with same direction (orange-yellow-something in clockwise!), which is impossible. On one corner the orange-yellow should be counter-clockwise. But as far as I can see, that is the only problem. Swap the orange and yellow on the unknown corner, and you get a perfect (solvable) cube.

Except in this case the artist was Owen To me it looks clear that his avatar was originally a 4x4 magic square, and he got rid of one of the numbered cells to make it look like a 15 puzzle.

okso added support for custom controls (and fixed anoder little bug that I noticed earlier). redownload client

for custom controls, make a file called controls.txt, go to http://www.asciitable.com/ and look under the Dec column for wich keys you want. in controls.txt, type those 4 numbers. first one is left, second is right, third is up, fourth is down.

The picture is a reference to "Masquerade" by Kit Williams. I did not draw it.

Darn, I should have seen the magic square. With Owen's help I found the original now:

I guess this is the goal state then.

I guess I was close, but wrong - the missing square was in the original artwork!

[TDM]

I don't have the most recent version, but you didn't mention anything about this in your last post, so I'm guessing this isn't fixed yet:

The single is a PB as well as the Ao100, but only the Ao100 is blue.

I've got a new PB single now... I should probably have got a screenshot earlier. It probably isn't relevant now, but the .txt file is 8.241 11.195 12.818 13.802 13.974 .
