Sliding tile puzzle solver

So I've been playing a point and click game called Loom Blend which features a sliding tile puzzle. I wrote a Python program to quickly solve the puzzle there and I'm sharing the code for any one who needs to use it as well. You can find the program online at https://onlinegdb.com/BkkrnXLsN. Just run the program and you'll see a sequence of steps showing which tiles to move in order to solve the puzzle in the least number of steps. The program works using a breadth first search which explores all possible moves without repeating previously reached tile configurations until the goal configuration is reached. Enjoy!
