Lights Out Open-source

Turn every light off on the grid — but each press also flips its neighbours, so the obvious move is rarely the right one. Small boards make the mathematics visible: you can literally watch a strategy work. A perfect pocket deduction puzzle with rounds short enough to restart without grief.
