BLD is also easy and fun

Spended 2 hours to make optimal solver for 4x4 SwitchTile puzzle like I made for 3x3 and it turned unuseful because it works unacceptably long. Meh.

BLD is also easy and fun

Yes it is, but how will you make moves blindfolded? Though I considered making PC version with keyboard control and do a couple of BLD solves but it's silly.

So I've been working on the game for a little while today, and have decided to host the game on my website (using flash) for people to try in their browsers. The web version has got a couple of new features and some minor changes in it - some of which will be arriving to the Android version soon.

Play the game online here: erifdex.net/projects/switchtile

Changes:
- Added keyboard support (for BLD solves? More info below)
- Changed the green colour very slightly (from #66FF99 to #55FF88)
- Stopped the menu from closing when choosing board size (now you don't need to go through the 4x4 puzzle to reach the 5x5)
- Cleaned up a lot of the code (no visible changes from this, though )

The new keyboard support is pretty funky. To select the row/column you want to move, you hold down the number of the column/row on your keyboard, and then tap the arrow key representing the desired direction. e.g. to slide the bottom row of the 3x3 puzzle right, I would hold the number 3, and then tap the right arrow key. This may take a while to get used to, but I hope that people will find the commands intuitive enough Also, the game must be clicked once for the keyboard commands to work.

The web version is really nice.

So far I've gotten a 1:25 3BLD and a 7:45 4BLD using it. I tried 5BLD but it came out scrambled...

edit: 55.43 3BLD

Just posting to say that a new update is coming very soon! I've made a blog post on it here: http://erifdex.net/post/an-update - but here's a quick changelog summary:

• New "Options" panel
• Customizable colours
• "Default grid size" option
• The grid size button no longer closes the menu

cant wait for the update, my pb for 4x4 is 2.88, 5x5 like 11

 

[Erifdex]

Alright, the v1.1 update is out It should appear on the Play store any minute now

Just for some clarification as I've realised I haven't mentioned pricing on this forum yet, the free game will stay free forever, with no ads or IAPs etc. But for people who want some additional features such as statistics, I have released a "pro" version - costing £0.99 (GBP) - I hope this doesn't put anybody off!

Please do post here if you run into any problems with the update!

Is anybody still playing this? I've recently bought the pro version (this game totally deserves my 1.29€).
My PBs are 0.22 / 3.77 / 12.83 and I average like ~2.5 / ~8.5 / ~18

Gotta catch up to AlexMaass records!
