I Solved Klotski
About this video
2swap explains how he solved the Klotski sliding-block puzzle by mapping its full state space as a graph and visualizing it. The video includes footage of the Guinness world-record solve and links to an interactive graph.
Why it appears in the archive
HN people point to it for intuition about why some games are hard to navigate and for its Rush Hour and graph visualizations.

This reminds me of this nice video : [VIDEO] basically, the state space of the game can produce some intuition on why certain games are hard, and is demonstrated as a clustering of various states that are only linked to the winning state by a very small number of edges. So a player can easily "get lost" in the maze.
Read original comment ↗Great article, very impressive to solve the entire game, rather than just individual puzzles. PS: Good chance that if you're reading these comments that you will appreciate this video by 2swap, visualising solutions to Rush Hour in 3D: [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗This looks similar to the graphs on "2swap"[1]. Worth a watch if you haven't by now. [1] [VIDEO]
