DESCRIPTION

Executing puzzle with no arguments plays a 4x4 15-puzzle.  The control bar has two boxes in it.  Clicking in the left box scrambles the puzzle.  Clicking in the right box solves the puzzle.  Clicking the middle button anywhere else in the control bar causes puzzle to exit. Clicking in the tiled region moves the empty spot to that location if the region you click in is in the same row or column as the empty slot. 

BUGS

The picture option should work on a wider variety of screens.
