puzzle too hard, not sure which coding that is :/

I get the impression that the intended method of solving this involves rotating clusters of characters. if that is correct I'm afraid the formatting is off and a line break is required at the end of each line. I'm interested in this but I want to be sure I am viewing the puzzle properly before attempting.

Okay now I think I see what you did there. I'll give it a shot, though like I said earlier I own the game.
EDIT: Yes, I applaud your puzzle :) Real nice. Not sure why I didn't catch it the first time, don't quite remember what I got after decoding, maybe dismissed it bit too soon. But currently you made it pretty clear, at least to me, what you expected. Pity I have the game, this puzzle really is something different :)

It was my intention, that you would need to write some code to solve this. The code just needs to swap pixels with the hole. You don't need any animation to solve the puzzle.
I made the animation as a html web page with javascript and canvas html element.

I decided to give away Cogs.
Because giving away a puzzle game with a puzzle, seems appropriate,
here is a puzzle that goes with the game's theme.
This is the starting configuration Bigger image

This giveaway will be open until 2012-06-09T22:00Z
update1:
Hint: This is a sliding puzzle it has 7920 steps. (You probably don't want to solve this by hand)
update2:
I simplified the puzzle. It should be more obvious what to do.
Previously every step was represented as two bits, since only four options are available at every step. Then four steps are packed into one byte, from most significant bits to least significant. Resulting byte array was encoded with base64, as it is one of the ways to represent such data as text.
update3:
For those who didn't figure it out, here you can see how you were supposed to solve this.
Only chour, who solved the original puzzle, Award and lockalola the only one who entered, solved the puzzle.
