    Default Game 3x3

    Hallo, I am doing GamingTable size 3x3(look at the picture). And i need generate some solution but i donīt know how can i do this. Target is find the best algorithm for solution.
    My code:
    Main class
    public class Main {
     
        /**
         * @param args the command line arguments
         */
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            try {
                GamingTable g1 = new GamingTable(3);
                System.out.println(g1);
                g1.move(GamingTable.Direction.UP);
                System.out.println("Done");
                System.out.println(g1);
            } catch (NotPossibleMoveException ex) {
                System.out.println("Not done");
            }
     
     
        }
     
    }
    Class GamingTable
    public class GamingTable {
        private short data [][];
        private int positionX;
        private int positionY;
        private final int EMPTY = -1;
        public enum Direction {UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT}
     
        public GamingTable(int size)
        {
            data = new short[size][size];
            short counter = 1;
            for (int y = 0; y < size; y++)
            {
                for (int x = 0; x < size; x++)
                {
                    data[x][y]=counter++;
                }
     
            }
            positionX = size - 1;
            positionY = size - 1;
            data[positionX][positionY] = EMPTY;
        }

            this.data= new short[g.data.length][g.data.length];
            for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++)
            {
                System.arraycopy(g.data[i],0,this.data[i],0,data[i].length);
            }
        }

    Default Re: Game 3x3

    The simplest method for performing such a search is a brute strength breadth-depth search.

    The idea is simply start by trying all possible single moves with the current board configuration. If one of them solves the puzzle, then mark the puzzle as solved. If not, recursively pass each new modified board through the algorithm.

    This will automatically find one of the possible minimum number of steps to solve this type of puzzle (can you see why?). It's not an efficient algorithm, but because this puzzle is so small it's sufficient to use such an algorithm (sorry, I don't know the running time for this algorithm )

    A more efficient method of solving this puzzle is to apply anything you know about solving this type of puzzle (certain types of piece movements that will get the board into a configuration you want, etc.), which unfortunately for me is pretty much nill.
