## Usage

The applet starts with the pieces in the correct order: this is the order you will need to restore them to. To start a new game, right-click on the applet and select Scramble Pieces. Move the pieces by clicking on them with the left mouse button until you have restored them all to their original positions. When you have done this, you will see a `You win!` dialog box.

Right-clicking on the applet brings up a menu containing the following items:

- Scramble pieces — randomly rearranges the tile positions. Use this to start a new game.

- Help — displays this document.

- About… — shows basic information about `Fifteen` applet, inluding the applet's version and the author's name.
