The sliding-tile puzzle consists of two black tiles, two white tiles, and an empty space (shown as the middle tile in below initial configuration) in some order. Player with black tiles and Player with white tile alternate turns to play against each other in the game. Below are the possible moves for the players and they can choose only one move type in a terminates if a player has not more valid move to play. Game Move #1: A tile may move into an adjacent empty location. Move #2: A tile can hop over one other tile into the empty position.
