If you wish to skip the installation process and play the game:
The game is now deployed with heroku at https://black-white-tiles.herokuapp.com/
You are given two boards, one target board and one game board, the game board will be initally all white blocks, you can click the blocks on the game board but NOT on the target board
when you click on a block, the block itself and ALL adjacent blocks(top,left,bottom,right) will revert its color(WHITE -> BLACK or BLACK -> WHITE)
Your goal is to use the lowest amount of clicks to get the game board pattern to exactly match the target board pattern
In blind mode, you have to memorize the target board pattern before starting the game, once you click the start game button, the target board pattern will be hidden
To make blind mode still playable, you have the option to show the target board pattern again. However, you cannot click on the game board when the target board pattern is shown, you must click hide again to resume the clicking.
To challange yourself, try to use the show and hide options as few as possible
Have fun!
