rt: Puzzle Game in Android Studio
1. Project Title
Sliding Puzzle Game (3x3 Tile Game) in Android Studio
2. Objective
The aim of this project is to design and develop a simple sliding
puzzle game for Android using Java and XML in Android Studio.
The game features a 3x3 grid with tiles numbered from 1 to 8
and one empty space. The player must rearrange the tiles into
the correct order by sliding them.
3. Tools and Technologies Used
• IDE: Android Studio
• Programming Language: Java
• XML: For UI design
• Android SDK: Minimum SDK 21 (Lollipop)
• Layout Manager: GridLayout
4. Features of the Game
2
• 3x3 grid puzzle game.
• Randomized (shuffled) tiles at the start.
• Clickable tiles that can move if adjacent to the empty
space.
• Win condition detection.
• Toast message displayed on winning.
5. Application Architecture
• Layout (XML)
• The game interface uses a GridLayout with 9 buttons,
each representing a tile.
• Activity (Java)
• The MainActivity.java handles:
• Initialization of buttons.
• Tile click handling.
• Movement logic.
• Puzzle shuffling.
• Win condition check.

6. Core Functionalities and Logic
Shuffling Tiles: Randomly arrange numbers 1 to 8 and an
empty tile.
Tile Movement: Swap tiles only if the selected tile is adjacent
to the empty one.
Win Condition: Check if the tiles are in order from 1 to 8, with
the empty tile at the end.

9. Conclusion
The project successfully demonstrates the creation of a basic
sliding puzzle game in Android Studio. It showcases the use of
UI layouts, event-driven programming, and core game logic
implementation. The game is functional, engaging, and a great
foundation for further development into a full-featured puzzle
application.
