Guys please try this game out.

It was generated entirely by ChatGPT.

Prompt I used:

Create a puzzle with the following characteristics:

- It must use HTML + CSS + JS.

- It should be a "minimalist puzzle".

- It should be inspired by SIMPLE puzzle games like Tetris, Mahjong, 15 Puzzle (sliding puzzle), Puyo Puyo, among others.

- When I say "minimalist puzzle", I mean it should have simple rules and mechanics (not necessarily a specific mechanic) and use basic shapes for the game elements.

You can use any mechanics you like. Invent a game that does NOT EXIST and that is NOT INSPIRED by the games I mentioned!

I like it. it's like lights out except mod4 instead of mod2

 

[eeeeeeeee]

this is just arrow puzzle from exponential idle lol

Y didn’t I get it??

I think that is the solution :3

 

[Filipe Teixeira]

I'm thinking that maybe some states are impossible..........

So maybe mod3 would be more interesting than mod4, since 3 is prime

This game kinda reminds me of clock, but kinda different and more challenging. I like it even though clock sucks.

You can also solve the thing in one go for a nxn board with a n^2 x n^2 adjacency matrix. It's very large and sparse so the usual row reduction would take O(n^6) I believe. Actually idk if it works mod 4 because Gaussian reduction relies on having inverses, which always exist mod p.
Like what @jaap said you could solve it for two mod 2 cases as Z2 x Z2 and combine the results. (Not sure if it's the same as Z4)
