Well, its another weekend night creation, because I have no social life;) Its late and I want to get to bed, so lets get this over with... When you run the program it will display the numbers 1 to 24 in various order in a 5*5 grid. Wait, you're asking: Doesn't 5*5=25? Hold on, lemmie check my calc. Yes, 5*5=25. The missing spot is blank. When you press an arrow key, it moves the blank spot in that direction (Another way to think of it is sliding the square to the <ARROW DIRECTION> into the blank spot). Your goal is to get them in order from 1 in the upper left corner to 24 in the lower right (Note-as long as they are in order inbetween themselves it doesn't matter where the blank is eg: ...15,16,BLANK,17,18...)

Clear? Ok

Keys:

ARROWS: Move the blank spot that way
2nd+MODE: return to MirageOS
DEL: Generate new map (QUICK generator, ALWAYS takes same time)
