How to use it
Create a new board
The Board is the main object of the game, it can be instantiated as follows.
const { Board } = window.SlidePuzzleEngine // only for IIFE imports
const puzzle = new Board({
dimensions: {
width: 3,
height: 3,
}
})Get a 2D Array of the board
Use this function to render your board, the "x" indicates the empty space.
console.log(puzzle.to2dArray())
// output example:
//[
// [1, 3, 6],
// [5, 7, 2],
// [4, "x", 8],
//] Move across the board
You can move across the board by swapping positions between the empty space and a token. To do this, use the move() function and the Direction enum.
import directions:

import { Direction } from 'slide-puzzle-engine'; CommonJs

puzzle.move([
Direction.up,

])Check if the puzzle is solved

// add your magic here
