Advanced Programming Assignment about components and event-based communication mechanisms with Java Beans.
The 8-puzzle game is a reduced version of the more famous 15-puzzle game: starting from a random configuration of the tiles, the puzzle consists of reaching the final configuration (the sorted one) with a sequence of moves. Each move consists of sliding one tile on the hole, thus exchanging the positions of that tile and the hole.
The system is made of a graphical dashboard, EightBoard, containing the board, an EightController label, and two buttons: RESTART and FLIP. The board contains 9 tiles EightTile.
The assignment requires to implement the 8-puzzle game using Java Beans and event-based communication mechanisms.
For other requirements and design choices, you can read the report.
Each component provides a reusable bean in its target directory.
