Towers of Hanoi

A MATLAB GUI for the popular Towers of Hanoi puzzle game with manual or automatic solution.

The objective of Towers of Hanoi is to move all blocks from the left-most peg to the right-most peg. In doing so, however, the player can only access/move the top block from each peg and cannot place a larger block on top of a smaller block.
This application provides a GUI for the user to manually solve the puzzle or request that the computer graphically solve the puzzle for them (auto-solution can be stopped at any time to allow the player to finish the solution).
The imbedded solution algorithm is provably optimal in the sense that it can solve a puzzle with n blocks in arbitrary arrangement in the fewest possible moves.

The Towers of Hanoi solution is a classic example of recursion. See <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_of_Hanoi#Logical_analysis_of_the_recursive_solution> for more information.
