It seems like finalBoard is not the same as poppedBoard, so when the call is made to print the list of past moves a different final move is reported... https://github.com/sermshar/sliderAI/blob/master/SliderAI/main.cpp#L274, linking to the beginning of the do while loop since I'm not sure where the issue is exactly... maybe there is a way to force the queue to update.

Basic data entry via console

Commit 3dd09db added in a method that can solve a puzzle that requires one move to solve. We now need some equations (see: http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/check-instance-15-puzzle-solvable/) to determine if a puzzle is solvable so that more complicated arrangements can be entered and the program can be set to run in a loop.

TLDR:
1 iteration solver working
need puzzle validation equations (see: http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/check-instance-15-puzzle-solvable/)
need code set to loop till complete

cfb3930 holds a broken implementation of the board scoring algorithm, currently not sure why it isn't working, most likely related to the interpretation of the position? possibly .find() is returning something unexpected? or the .row/column isn't working correctly?

Currently every time a child board is scored the Manhattan distance of each tile is computed; however, because we are only swapping one tile and the blank it is possible to limit this to just a score update. We could track the score of the parent and add or subtract the difference of the one swap to get the score of the child (this would scale exponentially, so for really large puzzles we could significantly reduce computation time).

Your project implementation MUST include the following:

• Use the Department GIT Repository for version control and submission
• Object-oriented programming with classes
• Separate headers, implementation files and a main driver
• File I/O. Include some form of file use even if only to capture results.
• Well-commented, “clean”, and well-organized code.
• Sections commented with the specific developer’s name
• Well-tested code.
• Readme file complete with known bugs and user operation instructions

You should employ the following concepts as appropriate to the program:

• vectors
• pointers
• dynamic memory
• string manipulation.

Quality of the code and the problem level of difficulty will be considered.

To make an A on this project, you must reach into advanced concepts and present quality code solution. Top projects designs show ingenuity, creativity, and efficiency. Demonstration that you have shown initiative, going above and beyond basic course coverage into utilization of advanced concepts. For instance, inheritance, polymorphism, recursion, graphics libraries, some other more advanced data structures of the STL Library (e.g. linked lists, stacks, queues, binary trees, etc.)

• FINAL CHECK

It would be nice to have some sort of a GUI to allow the user to input the puzzle state to solve for (and desired ending state). See: https://github.com/raysan5/raylib
