The Fifteen Puzzle Game built with vanilla JavaScript

This is the first game I developed for the web environment, my main goal was to build it with only HTML, CSS and vanilla JavaScript, without any kind of framework or library. Following the MVC pattern helped me to keep things organized.

With this project I learned a lot of multidimensional array and get the knowledge to do my second project as a puzzle: Angular Minesweeper.

The object of the fifteen puzzle is to place the tiles in order by making sliding moves that use the empty space whith as fewer moves as possible.

Play the game

You can see the code on Github:

Rearrange the pieces with as few moves as possible

Instructions:

  1. In the "Shuffle moves" input, type how many moves you want the board to be shuffled with (any value between 1 and 80).
  2. Click on the "Shuffle" button and watch the pieces shuffling around.
  3. Try rearranging the board with the same (or even fewer) number of moves than it was initially shuffled by clicking on the pieces with space to move. The pieces should be placed in ascending order from left to right, up to down.

The Fifteen Puzzle Game built with vanilla JavaScript is impressive. It showcases pure coding skills without frameworks. Integrating Sound of Text for audio feedback can make it even more engaging. This classic game highlights the power and fun of vanilla JavaScript
