'''Sliders''' are a [[pushable]] terrain elements that come in two varieties: the '''sliderns''' which can only be pushed north and south, and the '''sliderew''' which can only be pushed east and west.

Sliders, along with [[boulders]] and [[pushers]], are essential elements of "slider puzzles". However, they cannot be ''pulled'' by the player, meaning that it is easy for sliders to become stuck in a corner or against a wall. Sliders cannot be destroyed by the player, so a stuck slider in a game can often lead to a softlock.

Sliders keep their background color when they move, although this is not noticeable unless STK colors are in use. This behavior disappears if the slider is given stats.

== Erasure of fake walls ==
Just like boulders, sliders leave [[empties]] behind them when they are moved. This can be an issue for games that use [[Fake|fake walls]] as floors, as pushing a slider across a colorful floor will erase a black trail across the floor. This erasing behavior happens because sliders lack [[stats]] by default, and thus lack a way to track their under tile. Other statless pushables ([[ammo]], [[gems]], [[keys]], and [[boulders]]) also exhibit this erasing behavior, though it is most noticeable with boulders because boulders are more easily manipulated into areas of a board that have fake walls.

This erasing behavior can be eliminated by giving the slider stats, though the number of sliders that can be treated this way is limited by the board's [[Stat limit|stat limit]].
