Meow Meow Puzzle

• Where's Meow Meow?
• Code based on Slide Puzzle Challenge

Code Structure

• Tile Class: Represents a tile in the puzzle, holding information like its index and associated image segment.
• preload(): Preloads necessary assets before the application starts, such as the image used in the puzzle.
• setup(): Initializes the canvas, resizes the source image, and sets up the initial state of the puzzle, including tiles and board configurations.
• initializeTiles(): Creates and initializes the tiles and the board. Tiles are created with positions, and an image segment and the board keeps track of tile indices.
• updateTiles(): Aligns the original image segments to the tiles, ensuring that each tile has the correct segment of the image.
• swap(i, j, arr): A utility function that swaps two elements in an array, used to swap tiles on the board.
• simpleShuffle(arr) and randomMove(arr): These functions shuffle the board tiles randomly, ensuring that the puzzle starts in a mixed state.
• mousePressed(): Handles user input, allowing tiles to be moved when clicked, as long as the move is valid.
• draw(): Continuously renders the puzzle, updating tile positions, displaying images, and handling tile animations and movements.
• isSolved(): Checks whether the puzzle is solved by comparing the current state of the board with the correct sequence of tiles.
• isNeighbor(i, j, x, y): Utility function to check whether two tiles are neighbors and therefore, can be swapped.
• findBlank(): Finds the position of the blank tile, facilitating various operations like valid move checks and tile swapping.
