#12I did it in one move ;). Pretty neat game.

Good job!
I think it's pretty amazing how good you get in this game once you play it a little more. At first it's simply impossible, but you start to recognize the patterns pretty quickly and you can usually beat the 3x3 ones in less than 10 moves.

#14Neat 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.
Thats exactly how I tried solving at first.

#15Am i the only one who finds it more fun to try to get all the squares the same color, rather than into a chessboard?
Neat game.

#16Cool! I was inspired to write an implementation of the game in K: http://johnearnest.github.io/ok/ike/ike.html?gist=0007b9afbe...

You should never have to use more than 9 moves for 3x3. Hitting the same square twice has no net effect, even if the two moves on the same square are separated by other moves.

#18Like Lights Out, this game can be solved using Gaussian elimination over Z/2 (integers modulo 2). This means the order of the tiles you press do not matter, and that you can solve the board by forming the desired pattern row by row.

This is interesting but I don't really understand because I've tried doing what you're saying. Maybe a side note: I'm very interested in learning algorithms but they are so inaccessible to me.

#20What are you using Socket.IO for on the page?
