## Sliding Puzzle (#196)

Bienvenidos fellow Rubyists,

This weeks quiz will be to create and implement a [sliding puzzle][1].
The puzzle must be playable from keyboard input. The program will
generate a puzzle in a random configuration and the puzzle generated
must be solvable. You may create either the 8-puzzle or the 15-puzzle.
You may include a mode that will automatically solve the puzzle or
present a hint.

The puzzle must throw a small party when solved.

Bonus: Have the puzzle be displayed as an ascii art image that needs
to be arranged instead of simple numbers.

Have Fun!
