Keith Vetter 2004-09-13 : Rush Hour is a block sliding puzzle originally by Nob Yoshigahara [L1 ]. The board game uses various color cars and the goal is to get the red car out of the traffic jam. In this version, the goal is to get the red block out of the grid.
KPV 2016-04-19 : I finally went and added a Solve button. It does a BFS to find the optimal solution. I also fancied up the graphics a bit.
This version has only 12 levels to play with. There are versions out on the web with thousands of levels available.
AK:
KPV Okay, I've added a reset button (although the functionality was already there if you set the level back to itself) and I've emailed off to the main Rush Hour page asking for a link.
As to the 15,000 levels, I started to look into this but decided to go to bed instead. Here's what I found out: there's a Gnome version of this game called gtraffic [L2 ] for which someone wrote a level generator called gtlevel [L3 ]. There's also an existing tcl version of this game [L4 ] that comes with 15,000 levels built by gtlevel but in a proprietary binary format. I was trying to decipher this convoluted format when I decided to give up and go to bed.
If anyone wants to help decipher them, I'll be willing to set up some kind of automatic download or whatever.
AK: Thanks for the Reset button, and for submitting the link. The other way of getting the reset, well, I never thought of that. I also know a version of Traffic for my Palm pilot, however the levels seem to be hardwired into the app, maybe a resource. As for the TTraffic binary file ... The application code is open, so it should be possible to determine the format by looking at this code. To avoid the GPL trap we would however have to document the format first, and then write our own reader, completely independent. ... Ok, I thought about using gtlevel directly, but it seems to be by the same person, and uses the same data format. :( Which means that this is also the data format of gtraffic. On the other hand, you can tell to generate only one level. Together with looking what [gt]traffic makes of it this will also help in deciphering the format ... Ok, enough with the random musings and ramblings. I might have a go and looking at the ttraffic code, or not. Thanks Keith, for this nice little gem/game.
AK: Found a bit more, after reading the gtlevel README. It seems that it is able to generate ASCII levels as well. And there is a wee bit documentation for the gtraffic level format in the gtlevel distribution as well.

HZe 2006-01-15: I created another port to PocketPC, but this time single-source with this version below. Depending on the maximum screen size I modify some settings and configurations, so that the game can be played on a small display. Looks like this:
