BUILDING A SLIDE TILE 15 PUZZLE

Back when 7.1 was about to be released, I decided I had better get a handle on how to use and program in the Actions Editor. To accomplish this I gave myself a few programming challenges. One of them was to build an old classic slide tile 15 puzzle.

This definitely taught me a lot about what the limitations and power of the Actions Editor were and this file below is the result of that work.

The game is easy to play, simply click on any tile next to the empty spot and it will slide over into the empty spot. Arrange the numbers from 1-15 starting from the upper left corner.
