TetraSolver

Tetromino solver written in Javascript.

A Teromino puzzle is a grid which you solve by fitting Tetris pieces with no gaps.

Usage

Short answer: check out problem.js for a working example.

Longer answer:

1. Create a Board

    var b = new Tetra.Board(4,7);
   

2. Create a Solver, passing the Board and an Array of the available Pieces.

    var solver = new Tetra.Solver(b, [
    	Tetra.pieces.stick,
    	Tetra.pieces.tee,
    	Tetra.pieces.square,
    	Tetra.pieces.zigR,
    	Tetra.pieces.tee,
    	Tetra.pieces.bentL,
    	Tetra.pieces.stick,
    	Tetra.pieces.square,
    ]);
   

3. Solve it!

    solver.solve();
   

4. After a (hopefully miniscule) time, you get something like:

    Solved!
    X X E E 
    X X E E 
    + + + @ 
    * + @ @ 
    * O @ % 
    * O % % 
    * O O % 
    
    leftovers: [ 'stick' ] 
   

But why!?

I wrote this because I thought it would be faster and more fun than actually solving the mandatory puzzles in that game that time. At least one of those predictions came true.
