   - Notice it always says 0 moves. Look at the code in ''LightsOutApp'' to see how to get that working.   - Notice it always says 0 moves. Look at the code in ''LightsOutApp'' to see how to get that working.
   - Notice how difficult the game is when starting with a random arrangement.  Change the Constructor so that it will load the levels from a text file like [[https://mathorama.com/apcs2/LightsOutLevels.txt|LightsOutLevels.txt]].   - Notice how difficult the game is when starting with a random arrangement.  Change the Constructor so that it will load the levels from a text file like [[https://mathorama.com/apcs2/LightsOutLevels.txt|LightsOutLevels.txt]].

   - Change the dimensions of the puzzle.  The mini was 4 by 4, the LightsOut 2000 was 5 by 5, and Deluxe was 6 by 6.  A more difficult challenge is to make it like the Gamzes Out .  Find out more about them [[http://www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/lights.htm#quiet|here]]   - Change the dimensions of the puzzle.  The mini was 4 by 4, the LightsOut 2000 was 5 by 5, and Deluxe was 6 by 6.  A more difficult challenge is to make it like the Gamzes Out .  Find out more about them [[http://www.jaapsch.net/puzzles/lights.htm#quiet|here]]
   - There is a version where there are no borders, so when you click on one of the lights on the edge, it changes the lights on the other side (Hint: use mod % )   - There is a version where there are no borders, so when you click on one of the lights on the edge, it changes the lights on the other side (Hint: use mod % )
   - Not all random starting situations form a solvable puzzle.  Make your code test the random starting position so that it is solvable.  To do this, make sure there are an even number of lights turned on in the three "quiet positions" described [[https://www.mathorama.com/apcs2/LightsOut.html#quiet|here]]   - Not all random starting situations form a solvable puzzle.  Make your code test the random starting position so that it is solvable.  To do this, make sure there are an even number of lights turned on in the three "quiet positions" described [[https://www.mathorama.com/apcs2/LightsOut.html#quiet|here]]
