You caching in memory or disk? Redis or db might survive the crashes and reduce future ones
on disk, so basically I'm trying to save the image of a solution and reuse it if the same quiz is required. So instead of recomputing the result just return the same image.
My algorithm, by hand, was as such:
1. Start with the smallest possible valid solution (1)
2. Expand slowly, and each "step" (like, moving a wall or two around to "obvious" spaces) must be a valid solution (this brings you to 40-60 score, depending on your choices, on day 8). Continue to step 3 once you can't see anything obvious.
3. Look at possible places where you could expand, but need 1 more block. You'll find one eventually.
4. See if you can spare any walls anywhere, using diagonals for example. If so, place the solution from 3 and go to 3 (repeat). If not, go to 5.
5. Count or estimate the squares gained by doing your improvement from 3. See if you can reduce your score by less than that, pessimizing your solution, to gain 1 wall. Once you've found one, go to 3.
That got me to the optimal score within 15 mins or so.
I think you should change the cherries to a battery and call the game Correct Horse Battery Stable.

Great game, I love it! I hope the author is collecting juicy analytics. They would be useful if they ever want to bundle 100 levels in order of difficulty and release this as a Steam game (which I would absolutely buy!) I don’t think the gates should animate up into the air. It breaks the visual logic of 2D for no benefit. It’s subconsciously confusing to see a gate I place in one cell move to occupy pixels in the ce…
I hope they're not. Can't we have a few things in this world that are just fun without going and sticking surveillance on them?

Score init should say N/EIGH instead of N/A, otherwise great.

Please, show me a piece of software, or game, that is perfect the first time it is made.
lovely, I've created a solution finder for it. 1. Do a screenshot of the grid (try to include walls as well) 2. Open https://enclosure-horse-solution.onrender.com/ 3. Make sure the number of walls are correct in the input (bottom left) 4. Press "Solve" PS: It might crash as it's on the free version of render. I've added a caching layer. Here's the github so you can run it locally: https://github.com/langarus/enclosur…
