Hi, i’ve been asked to build a slide puzzle for an advertising company. While the puzzle itself will be straightforward they want it to thave a ‘solve’ button that shows the puzzle animating to the correct finish position from the positition the tiles are currently in (after the user has moved them around). It’s a 4x2 grid puzzle.

Any thoughts on the best way to achieve this? Everything i come up with seems unneccessarily complex.

Cheers 🙂
