The sliding block puzzle solver has been updated to run with the newest version of GWT and drag and drop libraries. This fixes a couple issues that were cropping up.
Sliding Block Puzzle Solver
I made another puzzle solver. This time its for hacking terminals in the game Fallout 3. Simply type out the possible words and it will help you solve the puzzle with the fewest possible tries.

Braid will single handedly change the way you think about puzzle games. To me at least, they are rarely very interesting and usually devoid of any plot or meaning. Braid is a puzzle game with both an interesting plot and profound meaning.
Amazingly this game was written by a single author, Jonathan Blow. Blow credits David Lynch, which is understandable since the entire story is an allegory for something more sinister. If you can figure out a David Lynch movie then you will probably love this game.
Writing a simple GUI for the Block Puzzle Solver turned out to be semi painful. I'll go over the problems encountered while writing the puzzle solver with GWT. GWT converts Sun's Java into browser compatible Javascript. For details of what motivated me to do this, see the writeup on the Dorito's The Quest puzzles.
I was completely intrigued by a gigantic bag of Doritos: The Quest chips. I decided to buy them to see if I could indeed guess the mystery flavor. Wow was that a mistake.
If you can guess the flavor then you can play a puzzle game (Doritos: The Quest). Unfortunately, the flavor of the chip is an utter disaster. Dispite being disgusting, I kept eating them one by one until I guessed the flavor. It had to be either monkey poo and/or lemonade. Of course I didn't need to buy the chips or even guess the flavor because the game gives you the answer (See screenshot at right.)
