One: the game that lights up your mind The goal is to set all cells on the board to 1 with a sequence of clicks. When you click on a 0, the cell is set to 1; when you click on a 1 the cell is set to 0. In addition, each click changes the current state of the entire row and column that contain the cell you've clicked.
