Changing to order-n puzzles

In its current state, the game requires code modification to change the order of the generated puzzles. It has been made as simple as possible.

1. Open <./src/lib.rs> in a text editor of your choice.
2. Modify const ORDER: usize = 3; to the value of your choice, e.g const ORDER: usize = 4; for a 16 x 16 puzzle.
