 Description

    Puzzle with no arguments plays a 4x4 15-puzzle.  The control bar has two
    boxes in it.  Clicking in the left box scrambles the puzzle.  Clicking in
    the right box solves the puzzle.  Clicking the middle button anywhere
    else in the control bar causes puzzle to exit.  Clicking in the tiled
    region moves the empty spot to that location if the region you click in
    is in the same row or column as the empty slot.
