15 Puzzle as near-infinitely variable art
« on: 09 Feb 2010, 11:27 »

I imagine that most of you are pretty familiar with the idea of the 15 Puzzle.  Basically, it's a puzzle with a frame with 15 tiles in it, arranged in a 4X4 grid pattern, and you move a tile at a time until it is in a correct order to create an image (or just have the numbers 1-15 in sequence).  It's really old and most people have probably seen one by now.

About 2 years ago, around April 2008, I made a 15 puzzle that ALWAYS makes a continuous picture, no matter where or in what orientation each tile is.  Here are some pictures.







I'm working on a new one that will be more sturdy and will be a single object instead of a frame with a bunch of objects in it (the tiles in the one pictured above are made out of flimsy half-inch foamcore, and fall right out of the frame if you turn it upside down).  Here's the image I'll be laying onto the tiles:



When I've chopped up that image and polished each tile image in photoshop (it was freehanded and there are some incongruencies), I'll post a few recombinations of it.  Also, when I'm finished crafting the actual wooden puzzle I'm making that will have this image on it, I'll post that.

Currently taking votes as to which tile to leave out of the puzzle (I can only use 15, obviously).

Wait, that last image is broken. I posted here but I think I misinterpreted what you were asking for.

I would remove the second row, third column tile. It's nice, but they're all nice! That one doesn't really stand out for me.

First off: that is really really fucking awesome and cool.  This idea is so cool, it seems like something my (art teacher) uncle would do.

Secondly: I'd vote on the second tile in the first row for being the one to be left out, I don't have much of a good reason why, I think it's just the tile I like least.

That is one very cool idea you have there. Also, beautiful images.

Oh dang, I finally figured out how you'd make all the tiles match up. Kinda obvious when you realise it!

Wicked sick arts, Joe!
