Fifteen
"Fifteen" is a famous world-wide known game that was invented
in America in 1915. Here you see a computer version of this game.
The goal of the game is to arrange square blocks on a game field
in an increasing order like this:
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
13 14 15
One block (16) is absent. This allows you to maneuver using the
spare space. The trick to this game is that some very
simple combinations are unsolvable. If you only exchange 14 and 15
you'll reach a statlemeat, a position in which you will never be able to
arrange the blocks by moving them in the field. Once upon a time a huge bonus was
promised to a person who could solve this combination.
In this game the computer prepares a randomly mixed
combination for you. All combinations are proven to be solvable. You
can move the blocks by pressing arrow keys or clicking left mouse
button on a block you want to move (as there is the only direction
in which it can be moved). Computer also keeps time and registers
best results.
OPTIONS
In addition to the classic version some options were added to
the game: Game Level and Picture Deck.
Game Level
There are three game levels in this game: Novice, Advanced
and Expert. The game field for Novice is 4-by-4 blocks, 6-by-6 for
Advanced and 8-by-8 for Expert.The results (best times) are stored
separately for all three levels.
Picture Deck
In addition to dull numbers you can select an interesting
picture to arrange on the same principle. There are 6 various
built-in pictures:
George The Winner - an ancient Moscow City Emblem,
Zebra - a striped animal,
Manta - an awful sea creature.
HINT:
Read this if you have no idea how to manage the arranging
properly. The most efficient method is to combine the chain of
successive numbers and move this chain to its position "spinning"
it either clockwise or counter-clockwise.
