In terms of idea, a 3x3 sliding game simply isn't very interesting and the way it's shuffled it's a bit too easy (at least to make the minimum number of moves). Also, the relation with the theme is very vague, it's just a picture of string, there's no relation to length. It's nice that it feels complete and even polished, but there simply wasn't much for me to enjoy in this game. The interface is nice, though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not very interesting use of theme; but congratulations on finishing the game...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get the signal error using the "final" entry, so I have to give this "Did not Work". Tried the windows version posted later, which did work, and was OK for a sliding puzzle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cool game! It's a neat concept, and it's cool that you were able to get some reasonably reliable puzzle-solving AI implemented in a week. Puzzle games are always a hard sell, particularly if there isn't some sort of action element involved to keep people engaged and from being frustrated. Neat extension of an old concept though, and good job with the smoothly sliding blocks -- that looked quite good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The N-puzzle is kind of old... I guess it's not tic-tac-toe, at least.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the first times. The game is very good. Keep going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Changing the music when the computer does its turn is a nice touch :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I figure the computer will always win, which lessens some of the fun :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nice wool picture!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: The game looks complete and polished. Cons: The game idea is too worn, need some new spin to atract. In windows at least, the human player dont see any cue about wich tile will move when him/her press the key.  Tenuous connection to topic eh? The controls need work as it will make two pieces move - since you count moves players would feel this unfair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure if I understood this game. the puzzle only required two or four moves to solve and I couldn't find any way of making it give me a harder puzzle. If it was harder I'd enjoy it a lot more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Problem with signal...  Crashed for me. Problem with signal?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't find this to be all that fun - but then again I don't enjoy these types of puzzles. (My personal method of picking directions at random doesn't give me much of a chance of beating the computer...) Also... slight bug - I can win without solving the puzzle :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The theme is very tacked on to the game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't be discouraged by my rating, the game could be a lot of fun if you added some other pictures and put in some kind of menu to easily set puzzle size and shuffling degree (if that's possible).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Couldn't figure out how to play again without restarting the game. Very difficult. It took me 19 moves, it took the computer 2 moves. I guess I'm dumb.  Play was smooth, though an all keyboard interface would have been nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have nothing to say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uhh, how does this comply with the theme? I solved the puzzle and it didn't give me any result.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simple.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3055257578110192694-3987710845208318400?l=pygame-trials.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pygame-trials.blogspot.com/feeds/3987710845208318400/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3055257578110192694&amp;postID=3987710845208318400' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3055257578110192694/posts/default/3987710845208318400'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3055257578110192694/posts/default/3987710845208318400'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pygame-trials.blogspot.com/2008/11/ratings-of-who-slides-wins.html' title='Ratings of &quot;Who Slides Wins!&quot;'/><author><name>Senthil Kumaran</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//lh3.googleusercontent.com/-xzrzQ5Ehqr4/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/4xHGk-b3vAk/s512-c/photo.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3055257578110192694.post-850354586029744115</id><published>2008-09-17T10:27:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-17T10:27:49.009-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hi Vijay, can you try the game on Windows?</title><content type='html'>There was a message posted that there was a compatiblity problem.&lt;p&gt;compatibility problem?:&lt;br&gt;who-slides-wins-0.5.zip , team Who slides wins!

It is building upon the some code I already have.&lt;br&gt;It is Visual ( Randomly selected visual, may be from Nat Geo)  N- Puzzle and&lt;br&gt;the player has to solve it in less number of moves than the computer could&lt;br&gt;solve. &lt;p&gt;It has Pygames involved in the creating the maze out of the picture and in&lt;br&gt;the move.&lt;p&gt;And very strong logic for the N-Puzzle.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Have a look at: &lt;a href="http://www.pygame.org/project/828/"&gt;http://www.pygame.org/project/828/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://phoe6.livejournal.com/56114.html"&gt;http://phoe6.livejournal.com/56114.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also, I have created a Blog for Prep and document.
