Neat variation on LightsOut (http://chenglou.github.io/react-lights-out/). I had some trouble since the rules for which lights toggle are slightly different with this one:

Classic lights out only toggles the light you press and the 4 lights in the 4 cardinal directions. I was surprised how baked into my brain that was and how much trouble I had getting my brain to adapt.

I wanted to sketch this idea of a puzzle game that I came up with while on a walk. It turned out to roll pretty well though it couldn't be any more minimal. Simple things are pretty powerful sometimes, don't you think?

simple things are simple always.

My only complaint is that the alert box prevents seeing the final board. It'd be nice to get to actually see my beautiful chessboard creations.

Dismiss the alert. Tada.

Then a new round is started and the final board is removed.

That's how it behaves on my device, actually, and that indeed is how it's supposed to work. Thanks for pointing this out!
