My favorite source of unreliable information, Wikipedia, says about solutions to a similar puzzle, Soma Cube: "these are easily generated by a simple recursive backtracking search". I myself warmed up to the idea of an exhaustive search, as it cuts off large branches of the tree early on. It would be cool to find all the solutions! Here is the rundown of tasks: - data entry - done - puzzle piece parser - Victor Hugo, done - rotation - Maciej, x done, y and z underway - moving - Victor Hugo, down/right are done, left/up underway - searching the solution space - Raphael - underway I think it's best if we try few different approaches to the solution space search.
