The 15 puzzle game is a simple logic game, invented hundred years ago.[1] It was rediscovered by the AI Community as an example for heuristics search.[2]

Sometimes, the 15 puzzle is described as an example for a production system.[3] It's a simulation, in which actions are allowed. These actions are scored with a numerical value.

The efficiency of the solver can be improved with a pattern database.[4]
