What’s the algorithm for solving an 8 tile sliding puzzle?
Currently the algorithm slows down significantly as it has to check all the previous puzzles for duplicates. Advice on how to aproach this would be appreciated. It’s a linear search over the array currentRoute: O (n) comparisons where n is the length of the current route.
