This is a simulation of solving a jigsaw puzzle through trial and error. Of course since it is done by a computer it happens very quickly :)
it is written in java so it can be run on any operating system, but i have included an exe for ease of use in windows. (note: exe version still requires java runtime).
to execute (without exe) type "java PuzzleDriver" from a terminal window/command prompt.
the default puzzle size is 10,000 pieces (100 wide by 100 long).
if anyone wants to do some graphics so you can see more than just a number of solved pieces increasing, feel free to ask for the code.
i just started writing this so the gui is very simple and there are no real features. feel free to make suggestions and i will implement them as time permits.
