I'm a student who is going to solve the famous 8-puzzle-problem. To solve this problem, we are using a A*-algoritm (or best-first-search). To solve this in an efficent way, we need a good heuristic function which estimate the number of moves from a given board to the solution. Is there anyone out there who has solved this problem, and can help me with the heuristic function ?
